I am 5 days post BA. My implants are hard, how long does it typically take for Natrelle 410 Anatomical implant ti soften?

Thank you very much for your message. The
time to soften does depend a little bit on whether the implants were placed in
front or behind your pectoralis major muscle.
If your implants are in front we would
anticipate that the majority of the swelling would have settled by a month
following the operation and breasts should be relatively soft by that stage.
However, if the implants are behind the
muscle they can appear slightly firmer initially and they may take longer to
soften, often up to 2 to 3 months.
I hope you find this information useful and
helpful and wish the best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  Do not be alarmed so early that your breast implants feel firm.  This is very normal.  Generally speaking breast implants begin to feel softer 4-6 weeks after breast augmentation and this softness may continue to improve up to 3 months.  Please consult your plastic surgeon and express your concerns.

After the swelling has resolved you should feel better. If there are continued problems Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide.
