Is It Common for Breast Implant Incisions to Rip Open?

Victoria in Texas
My breast incision ripped during my massaging techniques 25 days post op. My massaging techniques were assigned to my from my PS. Is there any reason why this would happen? Is it a common mishap? I rushed to my PS and he numbed and cleaned me and stitched me right back up in his OR. He put me on two different types of antibiotics. I didn't show signs of infection when he saw me and he said that my internals looked healthy. Why did I rip open then? Can this happen again?
