How soft or firm should breast be after capsulectomy? (photo)

Is it like the initial surgery and will take a little time to soften? Or should results be more immediate? I had a revision done on 1/15/16 to right breast only, for capsular contracture grade iii. The implant was also replaced. The right breast is visibly much lower but breast remains a little firm. My initial surgery was 4/17/15 and the left breast settled and soften very nicely within a couple of months. The right breast almost immediately started showing signs of contracture.
