Now that I have had my Breast Augmentation I have noticed my breast get very cold easily. It feels like my implants are drawing up in my chest , my breast become very very hard and feel strained , almost painful until I can warm them and then they get soft again. Is getting cold going to cause any damage to them? Should I be worried about this? I am living life with really warm clothes and a blanket all the time now.

I think that an implant with a lift will produce the best result.  If you place the implant without a lift, I think that the breasts will look worse.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
