Is it normal for my implant to still feel hard after two weeks?

Two week ago I got 350cc saline under the muscle. It's soft around my nipple and the front part of my breast. It feels like the implant is in the back but it's still very firm. How long before the whole breast is soft? Is this normal ?

Thank you for your question.  The cohesive gel implants are the softest on the market as the gel is not as highly cross linked as the gummy bear implants.  I would recommend feeling each type in your plastic surgeon's office and choosing the one you like the best.

There is not a right or wrong breast implant size for a given height and weight. Choosing your breast implant size is a personal decision. It is best made by using pre-operative manufacturer sizers.

Hi. You need to post your own photos. It's impossible to give you an accurate assessment without them. The eventual cup size is always the sum of the existing breast tissue plus the implant. Based on your bra size alone, I would venture to say that a 350cc should be plenty big. Understand also...
