Implants removed & PS lightly scored the capsules. No contracture, thin capsules, implants intact, & drains. Post surgery, I noticed that I had a small bruise on the side of 1 nipple & directly under that there was an oval shaped dent. I was told to start massage 1 day after surgery. It hurt a lot so I stopped. The indentation is still there but has slightly improved. It feels like missing tissue. Should I massage that area or will I cause damage? Getting advice from my PS isnt an option.
I had my saline breast implants removed on 05/20/11 due to capsular contracture. How soon can I start the breasts massaging to help them firm up because I heard it does help somewhat. Is there a detox process after your surgery to help your body healed from surgery and what does it entail? Please advise. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.
.2 months before my explant I had twinging and sharp pain in my left breast.I had an MRI,it was OK(10 y.o PIP). My doctor promised to remove whole capsule, but later he said he was unable to remove the whole capsule because I was bleeding hard. But I had a little caps.contacture.I still feel the shap pain in my left breast.Dr.said it's normal.2 months before surgery my back was pushed hard during massage and my left breast became sore for a while. But that sharp pain started 1 month after this.
The implants were placed 33 yrs ago and the left one remained soft and normal. Both implants were ruptured and the right one was calcified with severe contracture. Both breasts look deformed, but I expected to have more problems with the right breast; It's as if the nipple is caught inside, is that possible? I was just hoping for my old small breasts again. My BCPS has suggested implants or fat transfer. I'm massaging as directed and hoping for something good to happen. I appreciate your opinions.
I'm 60 yrs old 5'2, 120 lbs Procedures performed on 7/08/2016 : Bilateral implant removal, Bilateral subtotal CAPSULECTOMY , silicone gel implant removal of extravasated silicon gel implant material. Can massaging my breast will help to repair the indentation to my both breast, specially the left breast was distorted big time!
Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
Had explant on 1/18/18. I love my shape. Hoping my breast will get a little bigger. I am a full C right now. The issue I have is that when I raise my arm, my breast flatten, almost like wrinkles up. I just started giving myself massages, and light cupping. Will my skin retract? Or what can I do to improve it?
How soon after explant can I start to massage the breast area? It's been 2 weeks since my surgery. The capsule was removed only in my right breast were the implant was ruptured so I'm still little sore on that side. Is it still safe to start massaging?
How long and how many times a day should you do the massage? How many months should you continue? Is it pretty standard to do massage? When should you not do massage? I had BE 8 days ago, after having implants in for 5 months and had a very simple removal, did not remover capsules.
