Hi I am 15 days post op and had my 2 week follow up yesterday. Dr wants me to begin massaging 3x/day. Since doing so, my breasts are more sore and tight! They also feel warm to touch. Is this Norma when patients start massaging?

Answer: Does massaging breasts make them sore initially?
I am not aware of any test in a lab that can be performed. You should see you surgeon to better determine whether you implant is suspect to be ruptured. Continue to follow up with your surgeon to ensure that you progress as planned.

If you lose fatty tissue, there is less to hide the implant. Most notably where the is NO muscle coverage. Thus if you do lose weight, often you run the risk of exposing your implants more and creating visible edges. Continue to follow up with your surgeon to ensure that you progress as planned....
Get a couple ziplock bags and fill them with 400 cc of water or rice. Can then wear in your bra for a day and see which size you prefer more. (Can use common kitchen measuring tools)
