has anyone experienced a cold chest as a result of implants not being able to regulate body temperature? If so, how have you resolvedthis issue?

    Hated the cold more than I wanted breasts. they were also very hard. So,I had mine removed. Got the blood flow back and warmed up again. Hope you can find a better way to stimulate the blood flow. Some kind of massage or electolysis or something?

    Hi Spartan,

    I have had my implants for over 5 years. I do recall some issues with temp regulation early on. I would get this funny cold sensation in my chest when I drank something cold. I don't remember when it resolved, but I have no issues now, and haven't for years. My implants are not hard, though they are firmer than most 60 year old women's would be, especially after childbirth and nursing two children. I often joke about being an 80 year old woman, one day, with the breasts of an 18 year old. With everything else sagging, it will be a very odd sight

    I experienced this problem primarily during the winter months. I live in Michigan and when it's cold it's difficult to warm my core because the implants are so cold. I also had the same problem with swimming in cooler waters. I was hoping to find a material that would help to keep the cold out.

    Mine are cold all the time. I have taken to wearing a cami or tank top under *everything* I wear, which helps, but they are still noticeably cold. :
