Painful Breast

Painful breast can be caused by many things. I suggest a good physical exam by a general surgeon to rule out any easily identifiable cause for pain discomfort. Also aching implant can be caused by capsular contracture, and this should be evaluated by a plastic surgeon. Smaller implants may be needed.

Without an exam it is difficult to say but perhaps you have a capsule and that is what is causing pain.

Breasts ache

I wouldn't say this is normal, nor would I say this is rare. The question is hard to answer without more info,and chances are you will not get any useful advice on line other than to have a consult with your surgeon or primary care physician. All the best.
