I had saline breast implants 18 years ago, which boosted my chest size to 36 C. At that time I was 117 lbs. Now I'm 140 and my chest size has gone up tp 38 DD. I am in good-shape--excercise, the works--but my chest doesn't seem to lose any weight. Is it possible that the implants have caused weight gain and maybe weight retention on my chest area?
Answer: 450 CC Implants Would Account For Approximately 2 Pounds It wouldn’t be unusual for patients to gain 23 pounds over the course of 18 years.This can occur for a variety of reasons, but not because of breast implants. It’s important to note that two 450 cc saline implants would weigh about two pounds.Furthermore, breast implants wouldn’t cause a generalized weight gain.For this reason, your weight gain is probably not related to your breast implants, but instead to normal factors that occur throughout an individual’s life.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Implants do not cause weight gain over time Thank you for your question. To answer your question most specifically, your breast implants have not caused any weight gain aside from the weight of your actual implant. Furthermore, this weight gain from the weight of your implants would have been obvious immediately following your procedure. I think that it is important to remember that as we age our metabolism changes and this can contribute to noticeable weight gains. Hormonal changes in particular, especially in females, can affect the way that patients put on weight and where this additional weight gain (in the form of fat) is distributed. If you are concerned with the size of your breasts and wish for them to be smaller, I would schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. It is not uncommon for patients to undergo a breast augmentation as a young adult and then wish for a reduction or a smaller implant years down the line. Some women gain weight in their chest as they age and unfortunately even with the most vigorous diet and exercise regimens, this weight does not always come off. In other women, they loose weight and volume first in the breasts than elsewhere. I hope you find this helpful.

Answer: Not related to breast implants As a woman gets older, it is common for their breasts to get larger with the accumulation of fatty tissue. Since you mention that you also have gained weight, this may have increased your bust size naturally. However, breast implants do not cause weight gain or retention.

Answer: Breast Implants Will Not Cause Weight Gain Over Time
Thank you for your question.
Neither Saline nor Silicone Breast Implants will cause you to gain weight over time. There are many metabolic changes as we age that do cause weight gain. You certainly can lose fat in the breast after dieting and exercise. However the fact that you have Breast Implants likely is the reason that you breasts do not decrease in size.
