Asked By:renquin in Jersey City, NJ

I had fat transfer 8 weeks ago. Left breast completely soft but right beast is appx the same size maybe a little bigger and bigger but is is not soft like right side. It feels like a small baseball. Will this soften in time. Visited my Dr about a week ago and he said to wait for it to soften. Does this healing stage sound normal?
