Could my breast implants be causing my right arm/shoulder to feel dead, have sharp pains, nausea, headaches and chest pains ?

Question

Had them done almost 3 years ago. Wanted full C's and they are DD. I'm a 125 lbs. They are saline. I can see ripples in my right side. I get a feel of tightness in my chest or a sharp pain below the implant sometimes. My doctor was sued and lost his license for malpractice and lying about his license. I've had an mri and have a light pinch nerve in my neck and have had nerve conduction studies but nothing to indicate why me arm hurts so bad. My back also hurts but know due to too big of implants

but no one can say for sure... but if you're too large and you want to be smaller, you can certainly do that.  If you want to find out if your implants are your cause, you can simply have them intentionally deflated in the office to remove the volume and if the implants were your cause, your symptoms will resolve.  If not, then you have other issues and now deflated implants but at least you will not be top heavy as you describe yourself to be.

This is a complicated question which requires a more extensive work up than what could be offered for you in this format.

Raymond Jean, MD · Answer

Its unlikely that your implants are causing your symptoms.  I agree that they could be causing back and neck pain.  It is possible to remove and replace them with a smaller size which may help your back and neck pain.  Best of Luck.
