4 months post op and still have hard breasts. Doing well. Wish they would soften but not very hopeful. Love the reconstruction. Breasts are much smaller than orginals.

vsunsine, It may take as long as 1 to 2 years for tissues to heal fully. Did your surgeon mention any exercises or manipulation that would help with softening? Are you happy with smaller breast?
