I had a BA about 2 months ago. I developed a fever (38.5 C - 101 F), chills and back pain a couple of days ago. I have no other symptoms (sore throat, cough etc) One of my breasts however has enlarged and is sore, especially nearby the side boob area. I had a larger implant put on that side. My pectoral muscle seems sore too. Should I worry? Thanks so much for your attention.

Answer: One breast swollen after possible viral infection - is this going to affect the settling of the implants or predispose to CC?
I would advise waiting at least 6 months for the breasts to completely settle. If at this point you are still unhappy with the positioning of the breasts. then you can talk to your surgeon about revision surgery.
Breast implants will not change your body fat at all.
If you mean will you weight change, then yes, by the same weight as your implants.350 cc implants weigh close to 350 g, so your weigh will go up by 700 g.
