George Bitar, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  It seems like you are recovering normally.  Discuss your concerns further with your surgeon.

Jacob Freiman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. The healing process goes in stages. You will be the most swollen the day after surgery or 2 days after surgery. After that, the swelling will begin to subside. In my opinion all of the swelling should subside by 3 months and at that point at least one of the implants will have settled but they never settle at the same time. Usually, they settle around 1 to 2 months apart. Good Luck!

Julie Khanna, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thank you for your question.Generally at 6 weeks you are 50% healed and
then the healing slows down. Therefore
you have lots of softening and settling to do yet and it is normal that they
still feel very firm. I often talk about
the “toothbrush test” to my patients. Right now when you brush your teeth your breasts feel like rocks –
nothing moves!  Another few weeks when
you brush your teeth, you’ll start to feel a jiggle, and a few weeks after that,
more jiggling; But in all reality it
will be at least 6 months until you have that first day that you “forget” you had implants and one year until your final result.I hope this helps and good luck!Dr.K.

It's hard to say without knowing how far out you are from surgery and what you looked like before surgery if this is the end of the recovery for you.  It's best to speak with your surgeon about your question.

William C. Rigano, MD (retired) · Answer

At 6 weeks, I would expect more softness.I have my patients start implant massage early, but this is my routine.The body heals with scar formation for 6 weeks after surgery. Now your body will be maturing scar and softening over the next 6 weeks.
