How long do the breasts take to soften after explant and lift?

Asked By:Timeforachange35 in Long Island, NY

I had an explant and full anchor lift a little over a month and a half ago. My doctor made me look beautiful I am quite pleased. They have softened since the surgery but they are still a bit hard and tight. How long typically in patients does it take for breast tissue to settle and soften? Thanks in advance!
