MASSAGING BOOBIES????Help please

Hey sorry if its been asked loads before, but does everyone have to massage their boobs? My pc mentioned it to me at 2weeks but said it was too early to do it, I had my 6 week check and my surgeon didn’t mention it and I forgot to ask? So can anyone help me? When do you have to do it, for how long etc? Thanks xxx

Does anyone know??

Im only 2 weeks post op too so not sure, no ones mentioned it to me but I have been wondering? I guess untill 6 weeks the less touching the better though, because of the risk of infection! x

Hey I’m 4 months post op with unders I massage twice a day with cocoa butter on the scars and round the boobs for about 10 mins xx

I went for my 12 week (but im 14 weeks} check on sat with Mario Russo and he told me to massage them, thinks it’s to help soften them. i hadn’t done it before then but will start twice a day. xx

Arh thanks girls I weren’t sure but I’m going to do it now thanks, Do you have to do it for 10mins each time？and is it like your whole boon yeah? And bsclp118 I would agree and not do it before 6weeks xxx

yeh 5 or 10 mins massage using lotion, Russo said can start using bio oil now on scars too xx

Ooh ok thanks a lot for ur help xxx

I just read this on so fem…..

You should only massage your implants if you’ve been advised to do so. The logic behind textured implants is that they shouldn’t be massaged… They were designed so that the body would form tissue to bind to the implant surface (rather than continually trying to create tissue and not being able to bond with smooth implants, thus leading to capsular contracture due to excessive tissue formation). By massaging textured implants, you’re breaking the bonds that have just formed so the body then has to keep creating more, which is then creating the situation that textured implants were created to avoid.

Saying that, the evidence that textured implants actually reduce the occurrence of CC is still unproved as such, so it’s all a bit theoretical. However maybe this is because so many people are massaging their textured implants so it skews the figures? Some surgeons still do advise massaging textured implants, while others stand by the theory that they shouldn’t be. The logic behind them is that they shouldn’t be massaged though, so I’d only do it if your surgeon has advised you to.

That’s very interesting thanks for that I think I will phone them tomorrow and double check then just to clarify just incase he did just forget to mention it or he didn’t mention it because he doesn’t advise me to, very helpful xx
