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?

Answer: Implant rupture from a dog bite it certainly would be unusual for a new and intact implant to rupture from a dog bite that did not break skin, but based on what you describe, it is possible. The only way to know for sure would be to get an MRI. I think the more likely scenario is that the dog bite causes a closed capsulotomy because it was a lot of pressure on a newly formed capsule. Also, having a big bruise on your breast could have caused fat necrosis which may be some of what you are actually feeling.

Answer: Could a dog bite hurt silicone implants? Since the skin was not broken it is unlikely that dogbite would affect her breast implants. A lot of pressure can rupture the capsule of the implant and make it softer and changed shape. See her plastic surgeon for an examination.
