2 Months Post-op Right Breast Still Feels Firm and Hasn't Dropped. Normal?

September 16, 2011
Asked By:TB in Texas in Keller, TX

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?
