What are the must-do post-op care for gummy implant breast augmentation?

March 6, 2016
Asked By:SS_inSF in San Francisco, CA

I have Capsular contracture from a Silicone implant that I've received 3 years. I am getting a second surgery with Gummy implants this time per my Dr's suggestion. I am worried about the post-op care as I feel like if I had massaged a lot more and saw the early signs of getting capsular contracture I could have prevented it. My Dr. told me that I don't need to massage with the new Gummy implants. I would like to get a second opinion on this along with suggestions on post-op care that I should be aware of.
