Breast Massage

Breast Massage Techniques

These techniques are to be performed for 5 minutes total  daily  for the lifetime of the implant.  Dr. Van Laeken recommends this be done in the shower for greatest of ease.

 

 1. V Shape Motion

Step 1

Make your hand into a “V” shape with your thumb on one side of the breast and your four fingers on the other side. Put that “V” at the base of your implant.

Step 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.

Step 3

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

 

2.Lateral Motions

Step 1

Take the breast in your hands and move it back and forth between your thumb and the rest of your hand. Use a reasonable amount of force as you move the breast and the implant from its stationary position towards the underarm and then back towards the middle of your chest.

 

 3. Random Motions of the Clock

Step 1

Grasp the breast with your hand, squeeze the implant and manipulate the breast with random directions. Move the breast/implant around in all directions to effectively touch all positions of numbers on the clock. No particular order is necessary.

 

4. Quadrant Massage

Step 1

Place your palm on the side of the breast and push towards the center of your chest for a count of 5. Repeat the same procedure with the other hand from the midline towards the underarm.

Step 2

Perform the same procedure from the bottom of the breast upward and then finally from the top of the breast downward.

Use a reasonable amount of force. You will not rupture your implant.
