My job requires a lot of physical work and lifting. My right breast hasn't dropped as much as my left. (I am right-handed.) It feels tight at times and hard. When I am off work it feels better. Can it still drop? And how much time do I have before the pocket heals and won't let it settle?

Answer: Firmness In Breast Post Breast Augmentation
It typically takes 4-6 weeks to heal from surgery, and could take several months for implants to drop. In some cases the implants never drops and a revision is then recommended. Once massaging is instructed by your surgeon, it is important to do it as often as recommended as it helps to soften hardened areas. The development of scar tissue (capsular contracture) should be a concern if hardness of the area continues. Do keep in contact with your surgeon and schedule follow up visits in order for your surgeon to detect if that may be an issue.
Wish you the best of luck with your recovery and hope that your right breast drops so that you are happy with your results.

Answer: 4 months to drop Give it about 4 months for your breasts to drop. Also, I would recommend taking it easier on your right side with the lifting and such, because that could be delaying your recovery.
