How to massage breasts?

I’m 12 days post op and still very hard and swollen. I was told to start massaging but the nurse didn’t show me how. I’ve watched one youtube vid but the techniques look way too much for me to handle – she was pushing them together, squeezing hem hard etc. Mine are way to hard to do that with. Suggestions?

Hey hunni… With only being 12 days i would phone nurse before massaging, as ur still very early.

U put two fingers on boobie press down pressty firmly and in a circular motion if u know what i mean.

For now with u only being 12 days i would just rub palmers cocoa butter into the tops of ur boobs, well away from scars tho xx

Hey huni, I was told not to start massaging until the 6 week check as it increases the risk of capsular contraction. Ring ur Nurse just to be safe huni. My nurse didn’t tell me at my 6 week check so rang her and she apologised for not telling me to start.

Good job this forum is here to inform us!! Xxx

Yikes really?? I was trying to massage them last night, been doing all sorts lol. So hard to know what’s right – some sources say start asap to prevent too much hardening around the implant and help move it into place, while others say leave well alone.
