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?
