I am 6 weeks PO, I had gone from a 32AA and got 420 CC SRX implants. Are they still supposed to be quite firm? I’ve been massaging a lot but they do not move much and are still firm. They aren’t sitting high and I like the position of them, just not liking the feel of them yet. Is there anyway to help? When will they be totally healed? Also at what point can I start wearing a regular bra?

Answer: When will breasts soften after BA? Hello and thank you for sharing your concerns. I understand you are anxious for your breasts to heal and feel “normal,” but this may take many months before you see full changes. Tissue swelling takes a long time to subside, and it is probable that this is contributing to the firmness you are experiencing. In addition, you likely did not have a lot of breast tissue going into your surgery and with the size of the implants you received, your full results may be somewhat delayed. Try to be patient and follow your surgeon’s instructions and in time, you will see the positive outcome you are waiting for. In the meantime, if you have questions or concerns, the best person to answer them will be your plastic surgeon. Best wishes for a comfortable and speedy recovery!

Answer: Healing Post Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. Total healing from breast augmentation surgery can take several months, so the fact that your breasts haven’t softened much yet seems normal. There is most likely still quite a bit of swelling, so continue to massage your breasts and be aware of any abnormally firm hardening, as that can signal capsular contracture. My best advice would be to check in with your board certified plastic surgeon, as they are familiar with your body and are the most qualified to ensure that you are healing properly. Good luck!
