How Long Does It Take for Pectoral Muscle to Loosen After Breast Implants?

April 19, 2010
Asked By:jersey girl 22 in New Jersey

I am four weeks post-op benilli lift and with augmentation (390cc). Left brest is healing beautifully; however, right Pectoral muscle is still really tight where it connects to my arm (near the front armpit). I believe this is causing my implant to not loosen up and drop into place. There is a drastc difference between the two breasts at this time. PS does not seem to be worried. will the muscle loosen up and "release" the implant? Will my breasts even out? What can i do to help right breast drop faster? Pre 34C - Post 34DD
