Asked By:dablupups in Denver, CO

I'm 3 1/2 months post op from getting 360cc silicone implants. I'm 5'8 135 lbs and was an A cup. everything was fine. and then 5 weeks ago I had a dog bite my right breast. there was no broken skin, but did bruise a little. since then my right breast has rippling where the bruise was and I can feel the side of my implant. could this have cause my implant to leak?
