Long Distance Running = Damage?

A little over a year ago I increased my breast size to restore some of what I lost during pregnancies/breastfeeding. Implants are 550 cc's memory gel.

I am a long distance runner. After a year of procedure, I developed what my doctor said was 'capusular contraction' on one breast. This he said would require surgery to fix. I have been putting it off for about 3 months, but now the other breast has changed shape. I have some strange feelings coming from that breast (sometimes tinggling). I am wondering, can long distance running affect the position of implants? have you seen anyone experiencing this? My original breast size was pretty large, so after implants were put in, there was still quite alot of skin (my implants are not as large as what my original breast size was). Can having "extra" skin cause implants to fall out of their place? would running cause this? Any information is greatly appreciated. I am even concerned there may be a small leak (due to strange tinggling and sometimes chest pain in that area).

Hard to know without seeing your breasts. It could be the weight of your implants? Send me your photos to info@kearneymd.com
