I've had my breast implants for 7 years (silicone 250cc). I've always had one smaller than the other but last week noticed one has significantly dropped lower and completely different size. I'm freaking out as I'm not sure what has happened or if it's ruptured?
Answer: Implant changes Any significant changes in your breasts should be evaluated by your surgeon. An ultrasound can reveal if your implant is still intact or if it has ruptured. Your surgeon will advise how to proceed based on the findings of the exam.

Answer: Implant I would recommend seeing a surgeon with the ability to perform a breast ultrasound. It is possible that the implant bottomed out on that right side, but there are also many other reasons that cannot be evaluated without a physical exam and imaging. I highly recommend seeing a well trained plastic surgeon.

Answer: Implants You have bottomed out with your lower implant. If the other implant is smaller than it used to be, you may have deflated. I would suggest contacting your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Change in breast size Your post is intriguing. Patient who experience rapid the deflation of one breast size after breast augmentation typically have a ruptured saline implants. When saline implants rupture, the body will absorb the saline breast typically shrinks fairly rapidly. When silicone implant rupture, there is usually no change seen at least initially. A ruptured silicone implant will maintain its volume. Ruptured silicone implants can create capsular contractions, making the breast hard and distorting the contour.
