Rock Hard Boobs!

Don't worry, it's normal for them to be rock hard, they do soften and feel like normal boobs, eventually. Xx it can take up to a year to fully heal on the inside hun, although they should start to feel softer in a few weeks xx

All quite normal, they go through allsorts of changes over the coming weeks, as they settle they look and feel more like real boobs.Thers lots of info on here and always someone around to answer any questions or concerns you may have. XXX

Hi ladies,


very new here :)
I am 6 days post op - and my boobs are just so so tight and rock hard!!
I have my first check up tomorrow since the operation last Friday but i am stressing about how hard they are.

what you're experiencing is very normal. Right now your skin and muscle if you had partials are so tight and holding the implant up and making it feel hard due to the compression. But as the healing progresses the skin and muscle if you had partials begin to relax and your boobs will soften to a nice squidgey feel.

I am also very tender only the sides of my breasts. In fact the feel very swollen and like i have massive side boobs!!
Is this normal as well?

Absolutely normal hun. Its actually the swelling you're feeling making your boobs feel like they're under your armpits! Lol. But they're not....as the swelling subsides, your breasts will take on a nice natural shape.

I just really hope they get softer as i am not comfy at all with rocks on my chest!
I feel the only time i get relief is in the shower or with ice packs all over my breasts!


When will they soften?

Its going to take time...they will start softening after a month or so, but mine were actually 6 months post-op before they had fully softened and gained full natural movement. So the healing part is something that requires great patience. I don't think there's many of us who have that though lol. So whenever you're concerned chic, please just ask away. Xx

Also babe... Could you not write in the green please. It just makes it difficult to read - thanks lovely :flowers: xx

Sorry about the green :) thought i was being cool haha

Thanks im so glad its all normal! Especially the side boob! I really don't want side boob!

I know i cant rush the recovery but i really am just hanging out for them to not feel so foreign in my body. I do hope they will eventually feel 'part' of me :)

They will 

You'll wake up one day over the next coming months chic and suddenly realise you're not aware of your boobs anymore! 

Its a fab feeling. Xx

Oh they will start to feel like a part of you xx healing can take time hun xx it will happen! X

I felt the same actually I was paranoid I was having CC, mine feel amazing now and aside the odd twinge with nerves healing I don't even notice (apart from taking about 300 photos on my phone for self glorification ha)
xx

Aww im still pre BA but like the other ladies have said...healing can take so much time...i think its normal to have these worries but we need to be patient lol ...
your boobs will soften dont worry :) xx

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, hope they soften up soon for you 

Perfectly normal huni they will soften as time goes xx
