What implants require massage and what implants do not?
It is common to undergo massage exercises after having breast augmentation to minimize the risk of hardening or capsular contracture. Dr. Brown will advise women who have undergone breast augmentation with saline implants and smooth surfaced silicone gel implants to start massaging within the first week after surgery. When teardrop, textured surface cohesive gel implants are used, routine massage exercises are not necessary.
