I have had implants for 10 years now, no problems with them at all but my issue is that I am 37lb heavier than I was when I had them put. Obviously my breasts are sagging a bit now, nothing too bad but definitely lower than they were. I have just embarked on a weight loss journey and have already lost 6lb.
