Recovery time for Implant reconstruction?

Hi I just had double mastectomy and reconstructive done in September. I had implant right after the mastectomy surgery. However, I’m not very happy with the result. I feel like they are too big and stiff, not comfortable. I didn’t know the doctor gave me a 585cc until after the surgery, that’s much bigger than my original breast. And I had to sleep elevated because I feel my implant will move up if I lay flat. Does anyone else had this problem? For people who had implants, when do you feel like normal, soft, comfortable again?
