How Long After Breast Implant (Saline 300cc) Surgery Do the Pec Muscles Calm/come Down? (photo)

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.

In general you will find significant changes occur by week 3-4.  The implants will have settled into place much more by then and the overall feeling will be softer.  From you picture it appears that you are doing very well and I expect you will be very happy, not only with the overall results, but also happier by your Christmas timepoint as well.
