My right breast is soft to the touch. If I squeezed it, it feels completely real. While my left one on the other hand, when I squeeze it, it feels like you can feel the implant in there and its a bit hard. My left breast is also a bit bigger than my right and it's also sitting a bit higher as well. I can't sleep on my stomach because of the pressure, and I can't lay on my left side because it tends to hurt. Should I go and see my PS? Is this normal?

Answer: Firmness after Breast Augmentation I find it generally takes 3 to 4 months for breasts to soften and settle after breast augmentation. That being said, the way you describe your situation at 8 weeks, I think it would be reasonable to see your PS to be assessed for possible early development of capsular contracture. There are various non-operative treatments that can be instituted at this point, and if one starts earlier, there is a better chance of possibly alleviating the situation and avoiding future surgery. All the best.

Answer: 8 weeks post op - left breast harder than right. Should I go and see my PS? Is this normal? I wouldn't worry just yet because you are just 8 weeks post-op. Everyone heals at different rates and it's not uncommon for one breast to settle before the other one. It would be best if you can go see your surgeon for a follow up appt for an exam just to rule out any possible complications, but be patient, try not to worry and continue your surgeon's post-op instructions until then. ac
