8 yo saline implants deflated in office w/ local. The right side was painful and I felt something "pop" during the procedure. 9 days after the procedure and I'm still having pain on the right side above the breast. I can feel a firm mass (guessing envelope) on the medial side of right breast. I describe the pain as someone punching me in the chest, slightly knocking the air out of me. No pain or tenderness on left side. I plan to see the plastic surgeon to follow up as soon as I can get in.
