I jut had BA this morning and my boobies are very hard.Just wondering if they will get softer and when.Thanks

Probably 2 months, at least for mine. I had unders and that makes a difference. But they will soften up sweetie. Be patient and congrats!

hi indrushka,

congratulations...no worries if you dont feel like replying just yet, you just had your BA!!!

how are you feeling (other than them being hard)? how did it go?

happy healthy healing and get lots of rest, feel good
: )

(sorry i dont have comments on how long for them to soften, my BA is in the future)

libra · 11-18-2008, 10:43 PM

Mine only took about two weeks to soften up but I hink it's different with everyone. Good luck with your recovery and remember to be very patient!Everyday brings new changes. I am 6 weeks post op today and my right one is finally starting to drop nicely!!!

Stacy8907 · 11-18-2008, 10:44 PM

I think it's anywhere from a few weeks to a month or so? I don't know from experience, but thats what it seems other girls have said. I know it takes longer for saline to soften up then silicone though.

The surgery went fine and I am feelingpretty good.I thought it was going to be much harder and painful.I didn't even take painkillers yet.It's hard to get up from the bed or lift my arms up but other than that it's not so bad.

When is your BA?

jonahgirl · 11-18-2008, 11:20 PM

So glad you are doing well and one of the lucky ones that didn't have a lot of pain. I didn't either. To answer your question: Three weeks and five days. It was like overnight. Bam! My pec muscles relaxed overnight. They continue to get softer and softer.

smokeyjoe · 11-19-2008, 12:12 AM

Hi thats great that you are doing so well, I was lucky like you I never had a lot of pain either, Im only just over 4 weeks & mine have softened a slight bit I think maybe from the swelling gone down but mine are still firm, mine are unders & I can tell all the arm work Iv been doing at work is not helping me, but I know I just have to be patiant. Im not worring about it I know its my muscles not relaxing,
I was jet boating 2 days this weekend & I really could feel the pulling on my muscles as I was holding on but gee it was fun, LOL
Cant just sit at home an wait for it all to drop.... probably in 2 weeks I will be asking when are mine going to drop LOL ask yaself
Good Luck with your recovery hun Im sure you are gona look awsome

workinmama · 11-19-2008, 12:16 AM

congrats on the new boobies. it didn't take me long for mine to start to soften. takes a while for them to completely take a normal shape and softer feel, but you will start to see the difference soon I would think...a week or two.

kittie · 11-19-2008, 12:37 AM

very soft and have almost completely d & f though there can still be changes, but softening, mine are soft, but i think they will soften even more, but for them to start feeling soft, a few weeks like some of the other girls said, but everyone is different. your PS, will suggest things to help things along with the d and f and softening. keep us posted on ur story

Kimberly · 11-19-2008, 01:38 AM

They will soften considerably within the first few weeks, but I have to say that I'm almost 5 months out and mine have recently softened much more! For the first 1-3 months they felt pretty soft and moved nicely, but still felt too firm to be real when I touched them. I didn't think they would get softer this late but they definitely have!

I have overs and mine started getting softer at the top round week 3. i'm now just on 5 weeks post op and the tops are softer and sides are softening. bottoms are still solid.

Aspasya · 11-19-2008, 08:03 AM

for me, the considerably softening happened at 2 months. at the first month they still feel firm like balloon. but until now, although pretty soft, they still feel not real yet. i dunno, maybe my muscles are strong >.<

amyjaclyn · 11-20-2008, 01:02 AM

I'm at 2 weeks post op and CAN'T wait for mine to get soft! They still feel pretty darn firm!
I hate having to be patient
