I received bilateral breast implant surgery on Dec 2nd 2011. 270cc saline allergan natrelle brand implants filled to 290cc and 310cc, inframammary incision and under the muscle. How long would it take for the pec muscle to relax and calm/come down? They are soft on the bottom but flexed and tough on top. I just hope they become relaxed and heeled by Christmas... Please give me some info on quick recovery and fast healing!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery?
Thank you for the question.
I think you will find the press will be significant softer and the pectoralis muscle will have “relaxed” significantly by Christmas. You should notice improvements in these areas on a weekly basis.
I would suggest avoiding heavy lifting/strenuous activity; continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Answer: Recovery after breast augmentation
After a breast augmentation it takes a number of weeks for the swelling and bruising to subside. Also, implants tend to take a number of months to settle into their final position, particularly when placed under the muscle. Scars appear more red early on, and really don't take on their final appearance until about a year after surgery. It is not uncommon for patients to experience muscle spasms or tightness in the breasts immediately following surgery. I routinely prescribe a muscle relaxant, such as diazepam, for patients to take for the first few days after surgery. It is vital for patients to be patient immediatley following surgery in that as you can see, it takes time to heal and for the final results to be seen.
