How implants feel after breast augmentation

Blue Eyed Floozy · 12-12-2008, 06:34 PM

I'm 5 months post-breast augmentation, and each breast feels totally different. They look similar, but one breast is really squishy and feels like there is no implant at all. The other breast is firmer and you can definitely tell there is an implant in that breast.

I had 425cc HP smooth silicone overs put in in July. I went from a 38b to a 42d - my original band sizing was incorrect. I did not have a lift, although it was suggested.

I don't know which breast is the one that feels the way it should at this point. Neither breast hurts, and I don't have any fever, nausea, etc. If I should be concerned, should I be concerned about the one that is virtually undetectable or the one that you can feel more?

Thanks!

Possible explanations are more breast tissue preop on one side, difference in the size of the pocket, or capsular contracture. See your PS to determine which one it is.
