Could I Have Made Damaged my Breast Implants by Falling?

June 21, 2010
Asked By:1974anony in Scotland

I had implants under the muscle 2 and a half weeks ago. I slipped and put my hand out to stop myself from falling and felt as if i had torn something in my breast. It was sore for a while and felt burning but the pain went away. Could I have damaged the healing process and ripped the implant from it's position or made the pocket bigger? I feel as though the implant can move more although do not want to try moving it more than I have to.
