Had these implants 5 months ago . When I lay down they become super firm . When standing they're more normal
Answer: Cohesive gel breast implant firmness Form stable cohesive silicone gel breast implants are firmer than earlier generation silicone gel implants. The implants don't change in firmness with positional changes, however. Typically, when a woman lies on her back, her breast tissue shifts off to the side. In some women, there is enough looseness of the breast that when it shifts toward the outside there is very little tissue left covering the front of the chest, while she is in that position. If she had a breast augmentation with a more firm breast implant, then while she was standing and the implant was more covered by the breast, the breast may overall feel fairly soft. But when she lies flat, the breast itself may shift over, while the implant may stay in more of a central position, and thus not be covered by as much breast tissue. This could give the perception that the breast or rather the implant feels more firm, even though the implant hasn't actually changed.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Highly cohesive gel implants These breast implants are highly cohesive gel implants, they are a little more firm. They will ripple less, and give it about 2-3 months for them to feel softer. If you are feeling like they are very firm, please see your surgeon to rule out capsular contracture. Wishing you the best of luck!

Answer: Soft implants We don't recommend post-op massage for textured implants though even without massage implants are typically soft around 2 months and continue to soften with time. It is a rare occurrence for textured implants to contract though can happen. Be sure to follow up with your plastic surgeon to make sure your implants had not contracted and for further recommendation.

Answer: Silicone Gel Breast Implants “Soften”? Silicone gel breast implants do not “soften” with time; their firmness does not change over the course of time. What you are likely experiencing is related to the characteristics of your own tissue such as breast tissue, pectoralis major muscle, and/or the breast implant capsule surrounding the breast implant. You will be best off communicating your concerns to your plastic surgeon, who after physical examination, can rule out the presence of thickening of the breast implant capsule (capsular contraction). I hope this helps.
