Massaging breasts for therapeutic needs such as reducing scar tissue, lymph drainage from breast surgeries or for pain due to breast augmentation, can actually provide tremendous pain relief. But, how can it be done discreetly and professionally?

For Scar Tissue

Breast massage for scar tissue is performed around the scar tissue, not actually on the scar itself. Light circular motions and/or a perpendicular massage (called transverse friction) are often a part of the massage technique, used to primarily increase circulation and break up or loosen the scar tissue.

The massage therapy should not be painful, but may be a little sensitive, depending on when surgery was done. However, according to many experts, massage and stretching the axilla (area under joint, where the arm connects to the shoulder) is the best way to treat scar tissue.

Deep massage on tissue that has had radiation therapy is not recommended, but, because radiation changes the amount of blood flow to the area, light massage to increase the blood flow of radiated tissue is often helpful.

For Lymph Drainage

Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle technique that often provides relief and reduces swelling from lymphedema. Many massage therapists are choosing to study LDT in order to work with breast cancer patients.

LDT helps offer relief from soreness, inflammation and painful surgical procedure sites.

Techniques usually include long, one-direction, strokes to encourage the lymph flow and proper drainage.

For Breast Augmentation

Breast massage for breast augmentation helps to prevent capsular contracture, which is scar tissue that forms around a foreign object in the body. Massage and stretching of the scar tissue not only keeps the area soft, but it also allows the space for the implant to move.

Techniques of breast massage are usually started within 3-4 days after the surgery, and are performed at least 3-5 times per week for the first 3 months.

They will include movement of the implant with massage, squeezing, and compression. Physicians will often provide written instructions to take home after the procedure, but many patients also choose to seek a professional massage practitioner’s help with more advanced techniques to address severe scar tissue and swelling.

Some massage therapists use a technique called cupping for breast health issues.

Massage breast cupping, when done correctly by a certified massage cupping provider, creates a light lifting of the scar tissue, decreasing pain receptors and allowing release of adhesions with very little pain to the patient. The lift of the cupping also increases lymphatic flow, reduces swelling, and calms and relaxes the patient.

When used in conjunction with LDT, cupping can encourage drainage.

Always seek out a massage practitioner who has experience in LDT and massage cupping with breast cancer and/or breast augmentation patients. Ask lots of questions and make sure they are certified to do this type of massage cupping work.
