Question

Love my new breasts! Feels like a new me and well deserved after giving birth and breastfeeding my two children. But I'm feeling sore and extremely tight with restrictive movement. Any help when this will subside? And when will my boobs drop and settle? Can I massage them from now? I'm on day 2. My consultant will see me in 7 days time to remove dressing, shall I wait until then? Thank you ladies [RS bleep]

You are still early in the healing process after breast augmentation. As the implants soften, settle and drop the breast shape will change. It can take 4-6 months before the implants look and feel like they belong to you. Be sure to keep any scheduled follow up appointments you have for his or her evaluation and advice. Good luck!

It is quite normal for the breasts to fel tight at 2 days after breast augmentation. The implants should drop and soften over the next few weeks. If you have severe pain much worse with swelling on one side only see your surgeon for an exam
