I had under the muscle silicone breast implants 10mths ago. I was bathing my daughter and leaning on my chest on the side of the tub when I heard a pop sound. I had pain under my left breast for about a week, thought I bruised a rib. After 1mth I have slight swelling on my lower breast at the armpit side and I think that breast feels diffferent than the other. Not as soft? Should I be concerned or am I just being paranoid? Did I cause capsular contracture?
