Afterbreast implant surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. You can do the activities of daily living within reason while you are at home. At that point we take out their stitches and teach them the implantmassage technique. We suggest 5 times per day with the massage and no brafor one month. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in anystrenuous activity. At one month, the patients start to wear a soft cupbra with no underwire and can start low impact cardio. At two months theycan wear an underwire bra and engage in more strenuous physical activity. Breast massage continues forever, although only once per day.
