The healing process for every patient is different. Not everyone's experience will be the same. In general, most patients will feel like their implants have reached a "normal" state by 2-3 months after surgery. Be sure to speak with your surgeon if you are further out than this and are still having issues.
All patients have different rates of healing. The most important criteria for a natural feel for implants is the size of the implants relative to your native breast tissue. When most of your breast is implant they will probably feel less natural. Healing after implant surgery takes 6-9 months even up to a year.
Women in my practice generally feel as though their implants "become a part of them" within 2 weeks to 2 months following the procedure. They eventually become comfortable sleeping face down, running, and performing any other strenuous or high impact activity.
Some patients report this sensation and others don't. It may take time for you to adapt. Continue to followup with your plastic surgeon and to report any changes in sensation.
There is a trasition after breast augmentation, and many feel like there are two bumps just after. However once the implants and breast tissue settle in together and start to feel and move as one, most only think of their breast and the implant just goes away. If asked you might think about them, or need to remind the tech for a mammogram, but after two to three months the feel will just be 'your' breast.
