I am at the end of my 2nd day of post op, I am 5'6 134lbs, and was given 600cc's high profile silicone under the muscle. I was very small, an AA cup pre-op and They are very tight and sitting high on my chest and also into my armpit area making it uncomfortable (not painful...just annoying) to just BE...I cannot help myself but to massage softly and try to move the implant down a little bit, but I don't want to damage anything, or massage prematurely. Is it safe to massage them so soon after op?

Answer: #RealselfQ: How Soon Should I Start Massaging After a Breast Augmentation? Different surgeons have different instructions after breast augmentation. My recommendation to my patients is not to massage the breasts. There aren't proven benefits from this activity, however, I prefer for patients to do soft stretching with their arms after two weeks, progressively increasing after six weeks.

Answer: Massage after breast augmentation Hi! this is a great question! Most surgeons recommend some sort of massage routine after surgery. Implants often sit high on the chest wall immediately after surgery, and downward massage helps the implant settle into position. This is a process that may take several months. Most surgeons also recommend daily massage of the breasts/implants after surgery to keep the breasts supple. It is believed that daily massage helps prevent capsular contracture or hardening of the implants. Whether this is clinically significant or not is a subject of debate, but it certainly can’t hurt.
