I got 400 cc hp subglandular textured round implants six days back.My breasts feel hard and sore. How long will it take for the breasts to drop and soften? My ps has not recommended any massage ..will the implants drop soon with out a massage
Answer: Is tightness and soreness normal at 1 week post-op? You are very early in your recovery. It is absolutely normal to still be high, tight and hard at this point. I don't have my patients start massage until 3 weeks post-op so that is also normal. You just have to be patient and trust the process. Make sure to follow your PS instructions. Good luck!

Answer: 6 Days Post Op Breast Augmentation Dear mehertanu, From your photo, you do appear swollen, but that is normal 6 days post op. Your breasts may continue to feel sore and hard for a while longer. They do soften and fall into a more natural position as the swelling decreases, and should be feeling better by the time you are a month or so out from surgery. We never judge the final result of a procedure for at least 6 to 12 months after surgery. If you continue to have concerns, it is best to return to your operating surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Six days post op and my breasts still feel sore and tight...is it normal? Thank you for your question and photographs, and it appears that you will have a nice result. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. This will normally take place in the 6-8 week range after surgery. At only six days, it would still be common to have the feeling of your breasts being sore and tight. I know waiting is difficult, but hang in there, each day should be steadily better than the last.

Answer: Breast tightness after breast augmentaiton After reviewing your photo your swelling appears normal. It takes several months for the swelling to decrease, by the three month mark you will be pretty far a long but may see further improvements out to 6 months or even a year. The softness will improve as the swelling decrease along a similar time range. I agree for textured implants I would not recommend massage.
