2 years PO. It feels like a bubble and ripples underneath my breasts. I'm in pain daily. Is there a chance it could be ruptured?

I got breast implants above the muscle, because my surgeon felt since my muscular build, it would be best. A little over 2 years ago I got them and the first 8 months I felt a fold in implant on upper breast. Now it moved lower and feels more like a bubble and ripples underneath breast. I get some relief when I lift my chest up but not much. Now I’m getting pain daily all the way around it but worse is where bubble is. Is there a chance it could be ruptured?

You should proceed for which implant you feel comfortable with, whether that means waiting or not.  The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well...

Good afternoon!It's not about the number- it's about the look. You tried on the sizers- I vote to go for it! The last thing you want is to be saying "I wish I had gone 700cc" six months from now!

Hello, thanks for your question.  There is no way to tell your implant volume or predict your cup size based on a photo.  Your surgeon will be able to provide this information.  Their surgical records should record the exact volume of saline in each implant.  Patients should to be able to get...
