How Do I Massage My Breast Implants?

All women who have had breast augmentation surgery should begin massaging their implants a few days after surgery. Once the patient is advised to begin massage, the implants should be massaged every two to three hours for a few days, then two to three times per day for about three weeks. From this point on, the implants should be massaged once per day forever. Massaging your implants keeps them from hardening, and thus makes them look more natural and soft to the touch.

Instructions

1. Make your hand into a "V" shape with your thumb on one side and your four fingers on the other side. Put the V at the base of your implant.

2. Move your thumb and fingers together so that the implant moves upwards. The implant should be forced out of its normal position into the open space above the implant.

3. Let the implant fall back into its normal position, then repeat Step 2 to move the implant back up into the open space. You should continue this massage for one to two minutes.
