    Some implants grow on their own over time as they absorb water. I wonder if it was due to that to some degree.

      The crazy thing is that without drains they would have grown SO much bigger than what we see here. It would have been unbelievable.

      Yes, this is exactly what it was. Although it isn’t the implant itself that expands, the polypropylene material irritated the breast tissue (without causing discomfort) and the breasts responded by producing fluid to “protect” the breast from the foreign material.

      This fluid caused the breasts to constantly expand out, like balloons.

      Some women experienced this temporarily but Chelsea had so much polypropylene implanted that the growth effect never stopped. Even after 20 years they were still really growing!

      She had to get them drained to reduce the growth but this was always just a temporary measure. With her skin loosened they rapidly filled back up… and started growing even larger.
