Everyone's different in healing some settle quicker than others , but they do all ultimately settle in the end.
I think I was around the 2-3 week mark before the tightness feeling passed, it was a lot longer though before my boobs didn't feel like they were sitting under my chin...lol
For a good while I was so aware of my implants they felt almost like plastic filled bags under my skin...so weird! Can't quite remember when but woke one day & they suddenly felt a part of me like I had always had them.
They will be all over the place early post op & lots of weird feelings but all quite normal part of the healing process as they settle.   Hug     XXX

Thanks, this may sound silly but is the tightness caused just by the skin stretching ? Xxx

I think it is skin stretching and also your muscles are repairing so that causes tightness plus yours are fairly big so that will be contributing!  Give it a couple of weeks at least...

The tightness is of course the skin stretching but it's also the swelling and excess fluid in the Breast. As the swelling starts to subside and your body naturally disperses of the fluid everything starts to feel a little better. It's not a good feeling at all when they're under your chin and in your armpits at all is it lol

As much as we here at Breast Buddies try to say it, until you're actually living it, you don't realise how much 'time' affects your recovery and it's something you just can't possibly be prepared for no matter how many times you hear it, but post-op - it's really all about the TIME and as Mirren said, that time will be different for everyone. Some of  us will heal quickly, some of us will heal a little longer, but we all get there in the end. 

Try and take your healing a day at a time. Easy for me to say I know, but this really is the best way to go. If you do focus on time or compare your healing to others, it only leads to frustration and sometimes it can be upsetting when you see others healing quicker. 

But YOUR healing is all about you and your body. Eat healthily with lots of protein. This is honestly factual that it helps speed up healing. If you're smoking, stop. Smoking does slow down the healing rate and could lead to problems. If you're not up and walking yet, get yourself up! Walking does you the world of good and gets the blood gently pumping through your veins to the wound and gets it healing. No speed walking though lol. Just gentle walks. You'll manage your distance by listening to your own body. - if it aches, cut back! If you're fine, maybe walk a little further the next day. Walking also prevents the boredom, getting yourself out will do you the world of good as well as with other things like constipation too. It gets the bowel moving so helps with that. 

This isn't aimed directly at you Anne. Just throwing out there some tips for 'anyone' who might read and hopefully you might find something in there to help you too gorgeous.  Give You
