I was instructed by my PS to massage my silicone breast as hard as I could tolerate due to riding high. When squeezing downward I felt and heard a pop. Now my breast feels softer and appears to be lower. Should I be worried that I popped my implant or capsule? Could it have been scar tissue that I popped?
Answer: Implant massage after breast augmentation Implant massage after breast augmentation may be recommended by your plastic surgeon. This can help breast implants relax into the correct position as instructed by your plastic surgeon and can also help the scar tissue around the implant stay softer, longer.Hearing and feeling a pop while performing these massages is typically a band of scar tissue or possibly a suture releasing when it is holding things too firmly. I doubt it was injury to your implant, but contact your plastic surgeon to make sure both you and she/he are comfortable that everything is OK.

Answer: Vigorously massaging breast after silicone BA and was squeezing downward, heard and felt a pop. Should I be worried? It is difficult to say you should be examined by your plastic surgeon to determine what happened. Best of luck.

Answer: Implant position If your implant is now in a better position, and the breast is softer, you have likely achieved what your surgeon wanted you to! It's very unlikely that you ruptured your implant by doing displacement exercizes. Make sure you go to your follow-up appointments.

Answer: Vigorously massaging breast after silicone BA and was squeezing downward, heard and felt a pop. Should I be worried? Thank you for your question. The most likely explanation for the pop is that you were forming a capsular membrane which you popped or broke during your vigorous massage. The result sounds as though it improved the feel of your implant.I do suggest you see her plastic surgeon for visit and and opinion. As long as you have had not had undue swelling or bruising which could indicate a bleed you should be fine.
