I got 400cc silicone breast implants under the muscle about two weeks ago. I have a four pound chihuahua who loves to cuddle and will often jump up on my chest and walk around on me. Of course I kept her in a cage right after my surgery, but now that I'm feeling back to normal she is out and about and jumping and walking on my breast implants. Again - only weighs 4 - 5 pounds. Do I need to be worried about this? Could it cause problems?
