My breasts feel very hard on top three days after the Breast Augmentation. What should I do?

Swelling, implants, breast gland are all contributors.  I do not recommend massage for my patients because I tend to use textured implants.  When we place them they are in position and have the least risk for contracture.  So with our choice of Sientra implants textured round for shaped, these have the lowest risk for contracture for deflation and have a warranty to back it up.  Wait for your swelling to go down and skin to relax.  Somewhere between 6-12 weeks is often the time that women feel that their breasts are within normal limits.

You are still very early in your recovery just being 3 days out from your surgery.  It is common for your breasts to feel firm and sit high right after surgery but your implants should start to settle and breasts soften over the next several weeks.  Continue following post-op instructions and going to your follow up visits so you can go over concerns and in person.  Congratulations on your surgery!  ac

Thank you for your question.  Based on your description I would tell you that breast implants that 3 days typically do look firm and high especially on the top above the nipple areola.  Next.  However if you have unusual swelling, the feeling of pressure or bruising hematoma is a possibility.  I suggest you contact her plastic surgeon for an examination.
