How May Times a Day Are You Supposed to Massage Your Breasts After Augmentation, and for How Long Each Time?

I do not regularly recommend breast massage and if I do, it would be from about a week to 10 days after surgery because your body is still recovering from surgery. Massage may cause bleeding, increasing the risk of capsular contracture.

This is a controversial topic since some surgeons dont even believe it is necessary to perform any massage at all. I advise my patients to start implant massage a couple times a day, only in the occasioanl case where I think one or both implants are slitghly too high after surgery and this to help gravity settle them down. In patients with well situated implants i do not necessarily recommend any massage of the impants and pocket.

Massaging breast post a breast augmentation surgery is physician dependant. I prefer my patients start gently massaging their breast at 2 weeks post surgery for 2-3 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a day.
