MASSAGING AFTER ORANGE COUNTY BREAST AUGMENTATION: IS IT NECESSARY?
BREAST AUGMENTATION ORANGE COUNTY:
MASSAGING AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast Augmentation is the most common procedure requested by my Orange County patients. Some patients are curious as to why I recommend massaging the breast after augmentation.
A breast implant is a foreign material. The body, initially, will try to absorb the implant. Since it cannot, the body forms a thin layer (capsule) around the implant, essentially ignoring it. This process occurs with any foreign material. The shell of all breast implants is made of silicone polymer, which is well-tolerated by the body.
In addition to the implant, a “false” space has also been created to accommodate the implant. Since the body is not used to this space, it will initially try to close it. The massage, therefore, is critical to maintain the space open. Usually, by the third month, the body has formed a capsule around the implant, and the need for massage is not as critical.
I always recommend breast massage at least 5 times a day. The massage is started 7-9 days after surgery. After three months, massaging occasionally (once a day) is recommended.

When it comes to men’s health, one of the matters I am passionate about is gynecomastia, and alot of that is due to the fact that I went through it, and all of the distraught impacts which it can have on a person. So although these exotic names for it like man boobs and moobs have popped up, I am glad that there are still publishers who include some actual, helpful information about it and not just jokes. Jokes are ok, as long as they don’t dominate the fact that this is a problem which many men and boys are tortured with, and that whether they let us know it or not, that it impacts their lives in inconceivable ways. It is not assimple as doing some bench presses and lowering your fat ingestion, not to mention the emotional getting by. Thanks for anything that you can do to boost this message.
