Is it normal for implants to feel cold?

Question

I had 355cc silicone implants over the muscle 13 days ago. I'm happy with the results so far but I can really notice the implants. They sometimes feel so cold that I actually shiver. I really wasn't expecting this, will they ever warm up or is this something I will have to learn to live with?

Hello Eliza,
Yes, occasionally individuals with breast implants will notice that the implants feel colder than the rest of the body.
Normally this will improve with time, however on a very cold day, you may continue to notice a milder degree of coolness to the skin over the implants.
I suggest you mention this at your next follow up visit with your Plastic Surgeon.
All the best to you.

Hello Eliza. Yes, patients have reported that in cold weather the breast implants can feel colder than the body. I believe you will not notice this issue as much as you continue to heal into the future. However, you should be sure to address this concern with your plastic surgeon.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
