Question

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,By this time you can lie on your belly for a massage.  Some people don't like the feeling, and two rolled up hand towels above and below your breasts will dissipate the pressure.Best of luck!

I think by 4 months postop that your implant pockets are mature and thus you should be fine to get a massage whether you are on your back or your tummy. I would check with your PS but I am certain you will be fine this far out from your surgery. Best wishes and enjoy your massage!!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent breast augmentation. Assuming you've had an uncomplicated post-operative course and your breasts are well healed, you should be fine to lay on your stomach for a massage.  Please discuss this concern with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps.

You shouldn't have any issues lying on your stomach to get a massage 4 months after a breast augmentation.I allow my patients to sleep on their stomach whenever they feel comfortable doing so after their breast augmentation. Thanks for sharing!

Susan Kaweski, MD · Answer

If you feel comfortable lying on your stomach, you should have no trouble having a massage. Even 4 months out of surgery, you may still experience some discomfort in this position.
