How long after saline implants do they start to soften?

Question

I'm 4 days post, urgent and it feels so hard like a ball.

Thank you for your question.If you have an urgent concern regarding your recent breast augmentation, it would be important for you to follow up with your operating surgeon for a thorough evaluation.

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

If you are having concerns about your breast augmentation, you should call your surgeon. This is particularly important since you indicate that your concern is "urgent". Your surgeon should be available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Congratulations on undergoing a breast augmentation! Now the fun part...allowing your body to heal. As the swelling resolves, your breasts will soften. In 6 weeks, you will see a big difference but remember that it takes a good 4-6 months for you to see your final results. Good luck!

Without more details, it is difficult to comment.  You are best to be seen in person by your surgeon if you feel it is not right.
