Hi, I am due to have my procedure in September, a breast lift with implant. I am opting for sub muscle. I am nervous because I have been told by others who have had it done that you can feel a weight on your chest like an elephant is sitting on it. Is this common? How long does the weight last? I am asthmatic, managed fine and my surgeon has approved me with my asthma however I’m nervous I’ll be anxious I’ll not be able to breathe with the feeling of an elephant on my chest.
