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? Thank you for your question. You will find a lot of debate on this topic for breast augmentation and massaging/implant displacement exercises, but there has not been any literature to support the use of implant massage. I do not have patients perform massage as they can still be tender and sore from surgery and I feel this only worsens their symptoms.

Answer: Massaging is not indicated after breast augmentation. In my opinion massage is not a good thing to do after breast augmentation. The area of surgery is healing and should be left alone not traumatized by maneuvering the implant in breast tissue. The massage could certainly explain additional soreness.
