Worried about implants

Fortunately, tissue expanders were not bothersome to me. I only had them expanded a little bit. I am scheduled to have the exchange surgery next week and worry about how the implants will feel in comparison with the TEs. I do not want them to feel heavy (going for a smaller implant size). Any comments or advice?  Thanks, Susie

    They should feel much better, not heavy, and the recovery is much quicker. To me they feel great. They do get cold first in the winter. No bra is the best part.

    I had one fill post surgery, then had implants just about the same size as I was before.

    Thank you for your response.

    I did not expand much and don't want the "heavy" feel I had before my double mastectomy.
