Massaging

[Aperture]

My doctor mentioned about massaging about 3 weeks post op but didn't mention to use any creams.  Should i invest in anything to help with the massaging?

I don't use any creams and only massage the nipple area.  I started massage at 5 weeks post-op.  Just make sure NOT to be using neosporin-type creams until your incisions are a little more healed.  Check with you doc because you are not supposed to use certain creams yet. 

I use new skin scar therapy.  It's cheap and it works.  You can massage in the gel to help reduce scarring.
