Boob temp different from body temp?

Experiencing lower breast temperature after implants usually is described after swimming with saline breast implants.  However it can also occur with silicone breast implants Usually there is no reason for concern.However if your skin temperature is lower and there is any blanching or whitening of the skin you should see your plastic surgeon for an examination.

I have heard this reported occasionally over the past twenty years, but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it. Most often patients report that their breasts feel colder.  It has been reported with saline and silicone implants, both over and under the muscle.  I have been able to document a difference in temperature only occasionally.  The good new is that it doesn't seem to be of any clinical importance.  That is to say, it has never appeared to cause any problems for my patients.
