I'm only 3 months PO, but I notice my implants are really (pretty) hard/firm when lying on my back. They are quite soft, if not softest, when lying on my side. And just 'ok' soft when standing up, with no jiggling or hardly any bounce when I walk or jump. To my Fellow RSers, is this normal for anyone? Is this what I should expect for ever? Or has softness improved over time, no matter what position u are in???
