Silicone implants may eventually rupture, while they are more cohesive now than they were in previous years, the evidence I have seen online are all done at room temperature.

Thanks for your question and the photos. Congratulations on your surgery. I think you are in good position by the photos, but it's hard to tell without examining you. I think that it's likely the implants will not shift a lot but you are early in the process. Normally we are worried about...
