give it a couple of weeks. You still have swelling.

Saline ones are quite firm. My daughter has them. Silicone is MUCH softer and realistic.

I don't think they will ever feel "natural", that might be an unrealistic expectation, they're probaby not ever going to have the same feel as a natural breast-- but they shouldn't feel rock hard either. From what I've heard, they do soften up a little after youv'e had them for a while, but they will always feel harder than a natural breast.

My silicones feel Exactly like a real breast, very soft. They move the same, have no rippling like saline often has and even after 20 yrs have gone south 1/4". They were done for $1200 by a cosmetic surgeon in Louisiana who had not passed his written test yet. (not Board Certified). I guess they must be leaking by now but I can't tell anything is going on. When I felt my daughter's saline ones I was shocked by how hard they are!
