Do breast implants cause shortness of breath?

Asked By:ramonaholman in Calabasas, CA

Hello, I have had my saline breast implants for 14 years and one of my breast is slanted, little bigger and a droopier than the other breast. I have had shortness or breath for years since my implants. I have concerns that maybe fungus or mold may be located near the implants. Based on my symptoms and concerns do you see this as a possibility and consideration for an EnBloc/Total Capsulectomy explant with restructuring?
