Chest Hurts 6 Months After Implants

I am 52 and got saline implants under the muscle (incision under the nipple). I went from a AA to a C cup.

My chest wall is wide and, therefore, I do not have cleavage (which my surgeon told me prior). When I take off my bra, my chest is very uncomfortable between the breasts--as though the weight is just too much. I have no problem exercising but I cannot go braless, even for sleeping. They look great but I wish I could be more free with them. Maybe there was a problem with my chest bone structure that I was unaware of?

Why am I still uncomfortable with the weight of my implants 6 months after surgery?

Great review?

Informative, not pushy, very caring

When I had my implants I also had pain in the sternum area. It made it hard to sleep on my side.
