I'm 20 days po after having 415cc microtextured round high profile implants inserted dual plane. My surgeon is from another country and after seeing my pictures at 14 dpo, told me to massage them and use a strap. That's what I'm doing but I've read you shouldn't massage textured implants & now I'm confused. I've emailed him to ask if he's sure and why but I'm not getting a reply. Will it cause an issue to massage microtextured implants? Should I continue?

Answer: Massaging microtextured implants. Right or wrong? Textured breast implants that are tear drop should never be massaged because the risks of implant rotation. For round textured breast implants, I prefer to use a breast band but I do prescribe some massaging techniques rarely. Breast bands will move these implants and will also drive the swelling out of the upper pole of the breast out faster. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Micro-textured implants: Massage? Thank you for your question and congratulation for your recent operation. Usually it is neither necessary nor beneficial to massage breast implants if they are textured and sub-muscular as well. However every surgeon, in relationship to his/her experience, has a set rules for the post-operative period. I would recommend to follow his advice until you manage to contact him again or at least his practice manager to make sure no misunderstanding arise.All the bestAndrea Marando, Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.Manchester, UK
