3 weeks post-op for a breast augmentation, will my breasts soften? (Photo)

User Avatar
bellamodella
After my lumpectomy (for fibroadenoma), I got 250 cc silicon implants under the muscle to restore lost breast volume. I'm about 3 weeks out and my breasts are still quite hard. I was wondering if they will soften and feel more like a natural breast, and if so, when implants usually start feeling more malleable and supple. Also, would breast massage help and/or recommended? Thank you!
