Breast Implants and Weight Change?

Yogaboobs
Hello! I'm gearing up to have surgery in a few days and a question just occurred to me: Will fluctuations in your weight (post-operatively) change the appearance of your implants? For instance, if one were to lose 10-15lbs after they had implants, would that maybe alter the appearance of the implants, making them appear more taught/round/fake? What change in appearance would gaining weight produce, if any? Does it largely depend on how a woman 'carries' her weight? Thanks!
