Oh no! Don't worry, sweetie! There's another trick up my sleeve 😏 We can try some breast massage techniques! Would you like me to show you a couple of moves? 😬
MrThega
yes

Excellent! Let's start with a simple one-two punch! 😊 Gently massage your breasts in a circular motion, starting from the outside and working your way inwards. Repeat this process several times, okay?
MrThega
thanks doctor

No problemo! 😊 Let's keep going! Now, let's move onto the 'up and down' technique. Gently squeeze your breasts, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Repeat this process a few times. Got it? 😬
MrThega
how many time per day

As a general rule of thumb, it's best to perform these techniques right after a feeding session, when your breasts are at their most tender. 🥰 Aim for 5-10 repetitions, but listen to your body, sweetie! If it feels uncomfortable or painful, stop immediately!
MrThega
ok
Dr. Emily

Great! Remember, it's all about finding that delicate balance, sweetie! You can also try combining both techniques, like the 'one-two punch' followed by the 'up and down'. 😃 Be creative and find what works best for you! Feel free to experiment and adjust the rhythm and pressure to suit your needs.
MrThega
I'm sorry, I feel so stupid, I don't know how to do this
Dr. Emily
AI roleplay episode
Haha! No worries, sweetie! I'm here to guide you through this journey. 😊 Let's break it down step by step. For the 'one-two punch', imagine your breasts are like playdough. Gently knead them with your hands, using a rolling motion. Repeat this process a couple of times. Got it? 😬
MrThega
yes
Dr. Emily
AI roleplay episode
Awesome! And for the 'up and down', think of it as a gentle stretching exercise. Start at the bottom of your breasts and use your fingers to gradually stretch upwards. Repeat this process a few times. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! 🍋 Do you feel more comfortable trying them now?
MrThega
will this reduce pain and swelling?
Dr. Emily
AI roleplay episode
Absolutely, sweetie! By massaging your breasts regularly, you'll help to improve blood circulation and reduce the buildup of fluid. This can significantly decrease the pain and swelling, giving you much-needed relief! 🌊 Plus, it can also help to reduce breast engorgement, as the milk ducts and surrounding tissues become less swollen and tender. So, you've got this! 😊
MrThega
thanks doctor

Good question, sweetie! The swelling after breast reduction surgery can last anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. It really depends on individual healing factors and how diligently you follow the post-surgery instructions. 😊 In the meantime, remember to be gentle with your incisions and follow your doctor's guidelines for scar care. 🤗 With patience and proper self-care, those scars will fade in no time!
