Why do my breasts feel so hard after breast augmentation? (photo)

Asked By:researchgirl007 in Austin, TX

I am six days post op and went with relatively small implants 350 cc and 375 cc. While the swelling has gone down considerably, they still feel really hard. I am unable to take narcotic pain killers due to an allergic reaction. Should I ice them or massage them? I read conflicting information on this site regarding massage. Thanks in advance for your input. Picture below is 6 days post op.
