Dear Chinagirl09,
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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I'm sorry to hear of the pain you are experiencing.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation.  If issues such as capsular contracture are ruled out you can consider decreasing your implant size and potentially adding mesh for additional support of the tissues.

Hello, thank you for your question! If you are experiencing this much pain, I recommend you return to your surgeon. You could have a Capsular Contractor or something else going on.  My best answer again would be if you are that uncomfortable then you need to follow up with your dr. Best of luck!

You do have very large implants, but this cannot account for the symptoms you are having. In addition to seeing your surgeon, I would see your primary doctor to evaluate your weakness, nausea, and pain. You need to rule out dangerous possible causes of your symptoms, then worry about the breast shape later. A cause of pain related to your breasts could be capsular contracture.  Best wishes

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

First, you have large implants and they may be too heavy for your frame and tissue. Second, you may be bottoming out from the weight.  Please go back to your surgeon and be checked. You might do much better with smaller implants.
