Some patients have heard that massaging your breasts after breast augmentation is good for preventing capsular contracture, but this is unproven in the literature. In the initial healing period, massaging the breasts can do more harm than good. After surgery, you will be fitted with a surgical bra or compression garment to aid in healing and making sure the implants settle into the desired position. Once healing process is over, implant massage can be done, but there is no clear cut evidence that this helps prevent capsular contracture.
