At https://partingtonps.com/why-do-my-breast-implants-feel-heavy-common-causes-explained/, Dr. Marshall T. Partington explains why breast implants may feel heavy and how to address this concern. Post-surgical swelling, peaking within days, often causes a heavy sensation as tissues adjust, typically subsiding within weeks. Larger implants, especially silicone ones, add more weight, which can be significant for petite patients or those with thin tissue. An unsupportive bra can exacerbate heaviness by failing to provide proper support, leading to strain on chest muscles. Capsular contracture, where scar tissue hardens around the implant, can create a heavy, tight feeling and requires medical evaluation. Changes from aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations may make implants feel heavier over time. Implant displacement or rare leakage can shift weight distribution, causing discomfort. Persistent symptoms like pain, swelling, or asymmetry should prompt immediate consultation. Dr. Partington advises wearing supportive garments and following recovery protocols.
