We advise that you perform implant massage twice daily, beginning about one week after surgery. You will push down (toward your ribs) on the edge of the implant to displace it in all directions around your breasts. We recommend that you hold the implant in a displaced position for about 15 seconds and that you repeat this five times in all directions. You should be lying down (supine) when doing these, as the implants will move much easier in this position, as the overlying muscles will be relaxed. Note: in some cases, cosmetic surgeon’s will recommend a certain pattern of massage based on your specific case and needs. We ask that you don’t begin massage until we review this with you during your first or second post-operative visit.
