305cc right 285cc left smooth silicone HP under the muscle and below breast fold incisions. Is it normal that my breast are still hard. It’s just now that my PS advised to do massages and take vit E. He said that he doesnt require additional post op visit since everything is ok. So i feel alone in this recovery. I am scared that there’s capsular contracture. Help. Photo is not up to date but pretty much that’s how it looks like.

Answer: Breast Aug Recovery During the initial weeks/months of recovery from a breast augmentation it is normal for the breasts to feel hard/firm. Around the 3 month mark, the swelling should be down significantly, the skin should be stretching to accommodate the implants, the muscles should be beginning to relax, and the breast should begin to soften and drop into a more natural looking breast. The breasts will continue to settle for 6 months to a year, at which time results will be final.

Answer: When will my implants soften? Thank you for your question - you are indeed correct - implants tend to be quite firm post operatively. Especially when larger implants are placed in a thin person - your scenario. The larger the implant the longer it takes to soften. I would plan on not noticing a huge difference until 6 or 8 weeks post-op at which point they will begin to soften. Best of luck!
