Tightness and Discomfort Years After Breast Augmentation

shaggy
I feel a tightness and discomfort in my breast implants. I have had 2 surgeries (5 years apart) and with my first implants I never had any discomfort. Now, it’s been almost 2 years since my last surgery, I got the same exact size (from what my doc said) and I have a lot of tightness and discomfort. I have tried bra extenders and a different cup size as well (I haven’t gained any more weight) and nothing helps. What is the problem?
