Surgeon doesn’t require massaging. Is this normal?

The best advice as others have stated is to follow the protocol that your surgeon recommends.  I personally don't have my patients massage their implants after surgery because there is no proven benefit of speeding recovery, preventing capsular contracture, etc.  However, if the muscles feel tight I allow my patients to massage the muscles to help them relax.   

I think that this depends upon whether your implants are smooth or textured; for smooth implants I recommend massage but for textured I do not.  You should have a discussion with your team about the type of implants you have and what is the best approach.  Best wishes.

In most cases, I do not recommend massage after breast augmentation; but plastic surgeons will have different post-op protocols. Recommend that you follow the guidance from your plastic surgeon.
