Breast Lifting/ Augmentation Recovery?

Thank you for the question. Although your description of symptoms is not uncommon one month after surgery, is always best to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon for accurate diagnosis and probable reassurance. Best wishes

Implants firm and hot?

Firmness early post-op is not uncommon. However if the implants feel warm this cna be an early sign of infection and you should have your surgeon evaluate you.

Symptoms after Breast Aug

Your symptoms are quite common at this stage in your recovery and represent a combination of your sensory nerves recovering from the stretch during surgery and your pectoral muscles being tight causing the hardness. Normally these will all resolve over a few months.
