Answer: Firmness after Breast Reduction Firmness commonly occurs after breast reduction usually 2-3 weeks after surgery. It is a normal response to healing. The breast tissue will gradually soften up over months. Sometimes it takes 6 month for a soft normal breast exam without any lumps of scar tissue. I would discuss with your plastic surgeon.
