I'm 30 days post op . I massage frequently during the day.
Answer: Post op hardness What you are experiencing is simply a normal part of the healing process. With time, your breasts will soften. For now, keep doing what you are doing and be patient. My best, Dr. Sheila Nazarian @drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Answer: Breast Augmentation / Breast Implants / Anatomic cohesive gel implants / Silicone Implants/ Revision Breast Surgery I appreciate your question. Right now, you are early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Breast augmentation. I think the best thing for you to do is see your plastic surgeon for an examination to determine the cause. It is possible that your muscle is in spasm and gets better throughout the day and this will improve over time, however there may be other factors that are causing this and I highly recommend that you get an opinion from your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Hang in there! As long as the shape and feel are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there are any compression garments, stretches or massaging exercises that can help speed your recovery.
