Should I massage my breasts after breast enlargement surgery?

There have not been studies demonstrating conclusively, any benefit to massaging your breasts, however many surgeons feel that it helps diminish the chance for capsular contracture. Your body’s natural response to any implant is scar formation, the scar envelops the implant and may contract with time, causing firm capsule formation, and possibly palpable or even visible flaws. Massage is performed in the hopes of enlarging the space in which the implant moves about, thereby enlarging the size of the capsule. It should be performed slowly, and deliberately. It should be performed symmetrically, that is displacing the implant equally on both sides with each movement/repetition. Slowly press the implants inward, and hold for 10 seconds, release and repeat 10 times. Repeat the same pressing downward, and upward for the same number of repetitions.
