What causes a silicone implant to shrink?

Asked By:thesnglprnces in Des Moines, IA

I have 7 year old implants. Shortly after being out in my right implant felt lumpy and mis shaped. The last couple of years this same implant is getting smaller. It is very evident when braless and now becoming noticeable with a bra on. I have skin hanging away from the implant. My surgeon said it's from losing weight and body changes and not to worry about it. I am worried about it. It drives me nuts! Thoughts?
