Back massage after breast augmentation- have I done any damage?

October 6, 2015
Asked By:pacman85 in San Jose, CA

I just got a 30 minute back massage where I was laying on my stomach. I am 5.5 weeks post-op, and realized after the fact that this may not have been a good idea. My dr. didn't provide any specific instructions about when post-op I could lay on my stomach for a massage. My breasts look completely as they did before the massage, and are perhaps just a tiny bit sore from laying on my stomach. Do you think I've caused any damage to my implants? Is there anything I should do now, post-back massage?
