Implants melting from the sun. Will I have to get surgery again?

Question

I am 4weeka post surgery and I'm on holidays. I have been out sunbathing and I feel my breast have shrunk in size and have lumps in them. I'm very considered. Will I have to get surgery again? Have my implants Ruptured Or melted? My breast look normal but don't feel normal.

Its impossible for your implants to melt in the sun.   You are still in the very early stages of your recovery so its likely that your swelling has started to subside.  Sunbathing is not recommended at this early stage as sun exposure can interfere with the healing of your scar.  As you have noticed a change in your breasts since your surgery you should return for a review with your surgeon.
