    Default Breast augmentation cause permanent weight gain?

    I started thinking about this after reading another thread where a girl complained of weight gain after having breast implant surgery. I recently had the new cohesive silicone gel implants (AKA gummi bear implants) put in and I have since gained about 10 lbs which I can't for the life of me lose. I am dieting and execising and hired a trainer..the works ! I am usually a very slim person who loses excess weight easily and it just occured to me that the only thing that has changed in the last six months is the addition of the implants...and I seem to be gaining even more weight. I suppose it is possible that my metabolism just abrubtly slowed WAY down but I'm wondering if the two things could be related. Have you girls ever heard of someone gaining weight solely because of thier implants? Do you think that is even possible? I tried to find information on the internet, but I can't seem to find any relevant information linking breast augmentation and weight gain...Any input ?

    I've heard (though have no scientific backup for this) that your body tries to 'even out' when you get implants. It's certainly a common phenomenon-

    I have no idea why but I know a friend who has had breast augmentation complain about this too!
    I'm assuming that the implants weren't 5 pounds each! I wonder what this could be caused by. How long since your op? Any other physical or life changes that could account for it?

    I got really depressed after I got my breasts done because I was in so much pain and at first I hated them... I doubt the implants themselves have changed your body, but maybe your attitude. Perhaps you don't feel like you have to lose weight as much to look good or it's possible you have just haven't been burning it off because you're working less.

    I did gain weight the first couple of weeks after the surgery, but I hear that's mostly because of the anesthesia (your body swells up). After that, I tried to eat as usual, and the weight came off by itself.

    I've never gained any weight (except the 6 lbs or so from the actual implants HA) and this is the first time I've heard of that. I know it's common to gain a little during recovery because you can't be too active for the first few weeks, but that's all I've heard of. I did gain the initial recovery weight but lost it right away.

    Ive gained weight as well but thats because of my careless eating habits, drinking too much and not working out. I gained about 7lbs overall but starting to lose.
