Answer: Firm Hello, I would recommend returning to your plastic surgeon so that they can evaluate you and give more specific advice. Potentially things could be capsular contracture, subclinical infection, fluid or blood around the implant, or nothing as you could have overdone some activities and have muscle soreness and maybe mild swelling. Follow up with your PS.

Answer: Why is my right breast sore and harder than my left one? Thank you for your question. Unfortunately without a series of photographs or more details of your symptoms it is difficult to offer advice. By nine months most of your breast augmentation pain should have resolved and it would be important to rule out other causes such as a capsular contracture that may also be contributing to your breast hardness. It would also be useful to know if these symptoms have recently developed or been present since surgery. See your plastic surgeon in consultation, they are your best resource since they know how your recovery has been up until this point.
