Massage the peristalsis protector as soon as possible after operation to prevent the breast where the protector is located from narrowing, and maintain the width through massage. The massage method is suggested as follows:
1. Place your palm flat, put the edge of your index finger at the nipple position, and press it directly inward until your palm is close to the chest wall. At this time, you can feel the breast milk slipping upward.
2. Once the breast prosthesis slides up, keep your hand in the original position and continue to exert force, so that the breast prosthesis can easily slide under the clavicle.
3. Then slowly rotate the hand and move the breast implant to the inside of the chest.
4. Place the palm of your hand above the nipple 1 inch, push the skin up and press the chest wall down at the same time, and the breast implant will move down. At this time, you will feel the pressure under the breast folds.
5. When moving the artificial breast to the inside or outside, use the same method as in step 4. Rotate your hands outside to push the artificial breast to the inside, or rotate your hands inside to push the artificial breast to the outside.
Essentials: When massaging, the palm direction should be perpendicular to the body. If the angle between the palm direction and the body is less than 90 degrees, it will easily turn into downward pressure, and the water bag will not move, making the massage ineffective.
6. After implantation, if the prosthesis is smooth, massage can reduce the occurrence of capsular contracture; However, if the prosthesis is rough, massage is not recommended because of the potential risks. The formation of capsular contracture is related to individual differences, doctor's skills and implantation level. If capsular contracture has formed, massage is of little significance to its relief.
