Massage for breast enlargement
Every woman dreams of a beautiful bust, but not everyone knows that this can be achieved with the help of massage. Breast augmentation through massage has become popular only recently, but is quickly gaining momentum. The massage tones the chest muscles, thereby stimulating their growth. This is due to the anatomical structure of the breast. For the most part, the breast consists of glandular tissue, which lends itself well to stimulation. This is why massage is natural and affordable for breast growth.
Any massage technique has its own characteristics, but everything is based on one basic movement - stroking. You can use geranium or ylang-ylang oil - they reduce the friction exerted on the breasts during the procedure. After applying the oil, you need to make about 200 stroking movements, with your hands moving from the outside to the center, but not vice versa. This technique improves blood circulation. To achieve the fastest possible results, massage is done daily after taking a shower.
Hydromassage with directed and diffuse jets
This massage can be performed daily during water procedures. There are several rules to consider here:
- The water pressure should not be weak, but not strong, so as not to injure the chest.
- Any temperature is allowed, the main thing is to feel comfortable.
- The jet should be directed around the chest according to the previously indicated system. For each you need to make at least 10 circles.
- Particular attention should be paid to the intercostal space and under the breast. They are responsible for the firmness and volume of the breasts, so movements in these places should be more intense.
- The duration of the procedure is up to 10 minutes.
Hydromassage with a diffuse jet is less effective, but is useful for tightening the breasts, as well as increasing the sensitivity of the nipples and skin. This result is achieved due to the ability of a diffuse jet to affect shallow muscles and stimulate nerve endings.
The jet movement system remains unchanged. The only thing that changes is the type of jet and the duration of the massage. Using this method, it lasts up to 20 minutes. Experts recommend combining diffused jet hydromassage with a classic corrective massage, performing it after a water session.
The disadvantage of this method is the ban on hot showers. High temperature water causes weakening of connective tissues and sagging breasts. Among the advantages are ease of implementation, accessibility and usefulness. In addition, a shower is an essential element of everyday life, so “I didn’t have time” or “I forgot” will not be an obstacle to the desired result.
Breast massage during pregnancy and lactation
Breast massage during pregnancy is necessary for greater release of hormones, which will subsequently contribute to better milk production.

It is best to do a massage a month before giving birth, but under no circumstances in the first trimester, as this can cause a miscarriage!
Not every woman can breastfeed after giving birth. Most often, first-time mothers face this problem, since the milk ducts are very narrow and the baby cannot get enough milk. Against this background, such unpleasant conditions as lactostasis and mastitis may develop. Breast massage will help to avoid these problems. An auxiliary method of eliminating congestion is the correct attachment of the baby to the breast. One of these positions is the position in which the child’s lower jaw is in a tight position. The position of the baby in relation to the breast must be constantly changed to avoid congestion in the mammary gland.
The most successful feeding positions to accelerate the resorption of congestion in various areas of the breast:
- Congestion in the upper lobe of the bust is extremely rare, for this reason the position during feeding is unusual. The child needs to be placed with his legs away from you on the bed and bent over him.
- When congestion has formed in the middle part of the bust, you need to use side feeding. It is worth noting that the breast in which lactostasis has occurred should be on top. For greater comfort, it is advisable to place the baby on pillows.
- To get rid of lactostasis in the lower bust, you should place the child on your lap.
You can do a massage both in front of a mirror and in the shower. For a massage to be effective, it should be done in a relaxed state. There are a number of contraindications for this procedure: inflammation of the breast, such as an abscess or mastitis. When massaged, the resulting purulent lesion spreads to nearby tissues in the shortest possible time!

It is not difficult to recognize whether it is mastitis or lactostasis. Mastitis is characterized by the following symptoms: skin hyperemia, acute, burning pain in the mammary gland, temperature 38C, which is not observed with lactostasis.
When mastitis develops, it is necessary for some time to abandon not only massage, but also breastfeeding the baby and various physical procedures.
If, during massage sessions and other procedures, the desired result could not be achieved, but swelling appears, and signs of inflammation are added to it, you need to stop the procedures and visit a doctor. Since all the signs, without exception, are characteristic of mastitis and breast abscess.
Another complications include galactocele - a formation formed by the expansion of the milk ducts, which contain milk. Such cysts can very seriously lead to lactation disorders and form purulent foci.
If the decision is made to continue lactation:
- First of all, it is also necessary to deal with engorgement. According to the algorithm described above, the breasts are carefully brought into a comfortable state in which they can be effectively emptied;
- It is advisable to express milk at least once every three hours. You can use a breast pump or hand expression. Hand expression is a more effective way to empty the breast, and if necessary, you can combine both methods;
- You can familiarize yourself with the rules for storing milk in our article.
If you don't get relief after following all the recommendations, you can contact your doctor or lactation consultant for help.

How to do breast massage after mammoplasty?
Surgeons recommend that all women who have undergone mammoplasty undergo breast massage after this operation.
Massage should be performed for the following reasons:
- Helps position implants in a more natural position.
- Helps restore the sensitivity of the mammary glands and maintain skin elasticity.
- To prevent complications such as capsular contracture.
- It will help your back muscles and spine get used to the volume of your chest.
After mammoplasty, massage can be done after a week or two, depending on the condition of the implants and the speed of healing of the sutures. The massage technique depends on the healing period. In the early recovery period, it is recommended to use both hands to lift the chest up and down, as well as left and right. After a month, when the stitches have healed, you can make more active movements. Before performing movements, your hands should be warm, and you can use oil to reduce skin trauma.
Let's move on to the movements themselves. You should squeeze your chest at the base and gently move it up and down, left and right. These movements will help prevent compression of the implants and help them take the most natural position.
In addition to the chest, you also need to do a back massage - it is better to entrust this to a specialist. It is worth remembering that back massage can be started no earlier than a month after the operation, since until this time you cannot lie on your stomach.

Hardware Technicians
If you are not confident in your abilities and are afraid of mistakes, then you can seek help from a specialist and go to a beauty salon or cosmetology clinic. Professional massage therapists use different techniques, for example:
- manual massage
- hardware vacuum, which involves the use of massagers with different attachments
- water
- microcurrent
- electromagnetic
The advantages of professional massage include high efficiency and minimal risks. An experienced specialist will select the most appropriate technique in your particular case, will use professional skills or specialized equipment and will not make gross mistakes. The main disadvantage is the significant costs. The average cost of one session is about 700-2000 rubles. A full course may include 10-15 procedures.
