How long after Breast Augmentation Surgery will they feel more natural

Your breast implants will continue to adjust over the first 3 months as the muscle tightness resides. The breasts will appear less firm. Massaging the implants can help accelerate the healing process. In my Jacksonville plastic surgery practice, we recommend massaging the implants after the healing of incision for 2-3 weeks.

When do Augmented Breast begin to Feel More Natural?

This is a VERY common question. The "un-natural" feeling and appearance of the augmented breast is related to the trauma of the surgery and the location and size of the implants. The more traumatic the surgery (as in trying to put large implants in a small breast, pulling tissues apart instead of neatly andbloodlessly separating them with cautery etc), the more inflammation and swelling will follow and the longer the un-natural look and feel. The vast majority of women have normal... more

Final Results from Breast Augmentation

The answer to your question depends on how much breast tissue you had before surgery and the size and type of implants used in your procedure. The immediate (upper pole) swelling from any breast augmentation procedure generally takes about 2-4 weeks to resolve. But I agree with most of my colleagues here, it can take up to 2-3 months in some cases to get that more "natural" feeling. It takes time to truly heal from any surgery.

Several Weeks Required after Augmentation before Final Result Evident

It is not unusual for your breasts to feel unnatural 3 weeks following your augmentation. There probably is still some edema present. This and other changes will occur during the next few weeks before you can tell what you final result will be.

Breast changes after surgery

The breasts wil feel firm and will be swollen just after surgery. I tell patietns that it takes between 3-6 months for the breasts to look and feel normal in most cases.

6-8 weeks til breast implants feel normal

In most of my patients they are close to their final result by 6-8 weeks after surgery. Some quicker, some longer but most in that range.

Breast implant massage

In our Santa Rosa, California plastic surgery practice we tell our patients that sometime around 2 months after surgery they will start to feel like their implant are softer and more natural. They should feel like your own breasts and this usually happens around 3 months after surgery.

How Long After Breast Augmentation Till Breast Start to Feel More Natural?

It depends on how much tissue you have to begin with and how big your implants are. If you were small, ie. an A cup and you went to a C, I would assume there is a fair degree of tightness of you breast. This usually takes 6 weeks to 3 months to soften as your breast actually has to grow to accommodate the volume of the implant. Once this happens and the implant settles your breast will look and feel more natural.
