Do Saline Breast Implants Cause Any Weight Gain or Retention over Time?

September 8, 2008
Asked By:Nitty Gritty in London,KY

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?
