Can you please advise on why my breasts won't stop being cold even after 7 years?

Question

I got the breast implants for the third and hopefully the last time 7 years ago, and even after an intense workout, and though the rest of my body is super hot, my breasts remain COLD. Not cool but cold. I am very concerned also because implants sit right by the heart and my EKG has been consecutively coming back abnormal. Please advise.

Dear AshGrey3,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

The implants have nothing to do with your EKG. That is from your heart. You may have some sensory nerve damage which gives you the sensation of being cold. Your implants should be at your body temperature since they are inside and not cold. However, gel implants may feel more cold, especially outside in the winter. And, no, your implants do not sit right next to your heart.  They are closer to your lungs.
