Question

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

Once your breasts are fully healed, feel free to massage them to your heart's content. However, if you are still in the early stages of recovery, adhere to your surgeon's recommendations. Massage can definitely be helpful, but too much massage could possibly move the implant.

David R. Alfonso, MD, FACS · Answer

massaging can help after breast surgery and allow your body to adjust to the implants more quicklyI usually tell patients to massage a few times a day but any more than that is not likely to help out a great deal and can be cumbersome to the patient.  Ultimately, time helps with swelling and implant settling more than massageGood luck

Laurence Weider, MD · Answer

In my practice, I individualize massage to the specific patient's needs. Depending on factors such as the size of the implants and the tightness of the pocket, some women need to do more massage than others do.  In fact, in some cases I don't recommend any massage whatsoever.  I remember one nice patient who massaged her implants so vigorously and so frequently that she displaced one implant out of position.  It is best to discuss breast massage with your plastic surgeon.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Usually after your augmentation has healed you can massage them as much as you desire without causing any harm. However, it is really not necessary to over massage your breasts. I would recommend checking with your surgeon.#PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #BreastImplants #breastmassage

George Volpe, MD · Answer

Every patient is unique and one's surgeon will evaluate and recommend massage. In some cases, vigorous massage may be indicated. In other women, a more gentle less frequent massage may be in order. Massage should be performed under the direction of your surgeon. A good question for your surgeon would be whether you can massage more than you or she is asking you to.
