Can breast implants cause chest pain/heaviness years later?

July 9, 2015
Asked By:Joanie123 in Melbourne, FL

I had breast implants 390cc placed under the muscle in 2002. Felt they were way too big so had them replaced in 2009 with 250cc. I've had pain in my chest area for a long time and since I have a yearly physical I'm assuming its not a heart attack but maybe the implants or scar tissue. Could this be possible?
