Answer: Is this normal? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. During the early recovery process it is not uncommon to have temporary, altered sensations to your breasts that resolve spontaneously given enough time. I would allow your results more time to mature and you should see gradual improvement. Hope this helps.

Answer: Cold implants Thanks for your question. Implants will warm and cool to their surrounding environment, and some people are aware that when they come in from the cold it takes longer for their breasts to warm up. However your oesphagus is inside your chest and your implants are outside on top of you ribcage. I would be very surprised if cool fluid quickly traveling down your oesophagus could effect the temperature of your implants, as the fluid shouldn't be sitting long enough in your oesophagus to pass on its coldness. However if this is happening then I would suggest you are reviewed by your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Recovery after breast implant surgery My patients consistently tell me that somewhere between the 3rd and 5th week after surgery any weird sensations that they may have had stop. At that time they say that their breasts feel like part of them and not strange or stuck on.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
