Hi, I had a breast augmentation with silicone implants 3 years ago. All went well, I still have some numbness that probably won't ever resolve but I'm finding it weird that my breasts feel constantly colder than the rest of my body. My surgeon didn't give a lot of importance to it so I wanted to ask if this is a normal experience. If I hold them the skin warms up, there's no change in color, just temperature.

Answer: Breasts feel colder This difference in temperature can be from the silicone not regulating like the rest of the surrounding tissue. It's not something that patients generally experience, but it is not worrisome.

Answer: My breast implants are colder Hello, thank you for your question. I have not had any of my patients mention this to me in the 25 years of practice. I would suggest if you were not having any problems, and everything is ok then I would not worry. It is not uncommon for the implant to be a different temperature than your body as this is a device implanted into your body. Also, if you don't have much of your own breast tissue to cover the implant now then there is not much tissue to keep the warmth. As for the numbness this far after surgery it more than likely won't come back at this point.
