If you experience breast hardening, here are some recommendations:
1. If the breast hardening is accompanied by symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling, or infection, seek medical attention immediately.
2. Continuous monitoring and massage: It is recommended to continue observing the condition of your breasts and try performing breast massage. Massage can help relieve capsule tension and promote the return of breast softness.
3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: During the recovery period, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and avoiding strenuous exercise.
4. If the hardening is severe, surgery may be required to remove or replace the implant, and possibly to repair the capsule.
