Dr. Marshall T. Partington’s article at https://partingtonps.com/why-do-my-breast-implants-feel-heavy-common-causes-explained/ explains the reasons behind heavy-feeling breast implants. Swelling after surgery is a primary cause, as tissues stretch to accommodate implants, creating temporary heaviness that subsides over weeks. Larger implants, especially those over 400cc, add more weight, which can feel significant for petite or active patients. An unsupportive bra can exacerbate this by failing to provide adequate support, leading to strain on chest muscles. Capsular contracture, where scar tissue hardens around the implant, can cause a heavy, tight sensation and requires professional evaluation. Changes in breast tissue due to aging, pregnancy, or weight gain can make implants feel heavier over time. Implant displacement or rare cases of leakage may alter weight distribution, contributing to discomfort. Patients with persistent heaviness, pain, or swelling should consult a surgeon to rule out complications. Proper post-operative care, including compression garments, helps reduce these sensations.
