Breast Implant Capsule Tear Two Times in 4 Weeks. Why? Wouldn't it have healed in 4 weeks?

April 8, 2013
Asked By:jkgirl

My PS has confirmed by pics and feedback I have torn my left capsule. I am a PT, and was heavy bench pressing at the time of injury. I have 700cc Saline overs. I am also 13 months post-op. This is the first time I've had any issue. Why would this happen? Also, I did nothing, and I mean nothing for 4 weeks, then had sex. 2 days after the symptoms all returned. Entire sphere of left breast on fire! I tore it again. Wouldn't it have healed in 4 weeks? Is something else going on here?
