5 days post op, I have hardness after Breast Augmentation. Is this normal?

It is completely normal for you to feel tightness several days after breast augmentation.  Oftentimes, the implants will feel very hard, but rest assured that with time everything will soften up!  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your question. Depending on your frame the large implant size is probably tight in the pocket. This will take some time to loosen up. As long as both breasts are similar in size then it should be okay. Because the implant is above the muscle it is more palpable and may also contribute to the feeling of firmness. Depending on the type of implant, the feel may be more or less firm. If you are concerned or there are changes then you should contact your surgeon. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question. Everything that you are describing is to be expected at only 5 days post op from a breast augmentation. Over the next few weeks, your breasts will soften as the muscles and tissues relax to accommodate the implants. You will begin to notice less fullness in the upper pole of the breast and more fullness in the lower pole. The feeling of pressure in the chest is also to be expected and will dissipate as the breasts relax. I urge you to follow up with your Plastic Surgeon for scheduled post op check-ups, and to call if you have concerns between appointments.
