Prosthetic breast augmentation is to make an incision through the armpit or areola, and then put the prosthesis under the pectoralis major to achieve the effect of breast augmentation. There is a recovery period after breast augmentation with prosthesis. The wound will swell during the recovery period, and the chest needs to adapt to the prosthesis. At this time, the feel of the chest will be stiff. It takes a week to remove the stitches after operation, and the swelling is basically reduced after two weeks. It takes one to three months to recover completely naturally, that is, after three months, the feel of prosthetic breast augmentation will become soft.

The softness of hand feeling after operation is also related to prosthesis materials and surgical operation. There are many kinds of breast augmentation materials for prosthetic breast augmentation, including rough prosthesis and smooth prosthesis. After the rough prosthesis is implanted in the chest, the incidence of capsular contracture can be reduced to the maximum extent, so that the postoperative feel is close to the real chest. In addition, the feel of breast augmentation is also related to the prosthetic cavity stripped by the doctor. If the stripped cavity space is too small, the prosthesis will be squeezed and kneaded after implantation, so it will feel stiff. Experienced doctors will reasonably grasp the size of the prosthetic stripping cavity and the size of the prosthetic implant when doing breast augmentation to ensure that the softness of the hand after breast augmentation is equivalent to that of the real breast.
