Hello!Women definitely experience coldness in implants. This should improve over time. Best of luck!
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.
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.
Dear mkmcknight,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic 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
Congratulations on your recent augmentation.Occasionally unexplainable phenomenon such as what you describe are experienced, however these usually always settle with time.Anatomically and physiologically there is no relationship between the two as the implants are outside the front of the chest wall and the oesophagus (food pipe) is behind. The fluid you swallow is passing through quickly and does not bring about changes in body temperature. You will find in the future that your implants may feel cold/cooler than your body after periods in the sea for example, as they will cool down and require time to warm back up to be the same temperature as your body, as unlike your body, they cannot thermoregulate and instead take on the temperature of their surrounding environment.Best wishes and I hope you enjoy the new you.Marcus
Unlike non augmented breasts, breasts implants do not have blood flowing through them, only around them. Because of this they do not thermoregulate (maintain body temperature) in the same way. When it is cold outside they stay cold longer than the surrounding tissue and when it is warm they stay warmer. Usually the temperature differences you are feeling will become unnoticeable in a short time.
I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. Although definitive advice would require in-person evaluation, it is likely that you will benefit from removal of the breast implants as well as capsulectomy surgery. It is highly likely that the 40-year-old implants have ruptured. I...
My guess is you will be a D cup, but it will vary with what bra you are wearing since each bra manufacturer decides what a D cup means. For your height and weight I think the range of 250 to 300 should give you a nice natural result. Good luck!
Hi & thank you for your question.It is difficult to judge by the photos. I suggest seeing your surgeon and having the area evaluated. Best wishes.
