You should be able to continue to exercise with a ruptured implant. However, if you have silicone implants that were placed many years ago, you may wish to get the implant replaced before vigorous exercise or obtain an MRI to see that the rupture is contained within the scar tissue pocket around the implant before continuing with vigorous exercise regimens prior to replacing the implant.
Dear Donna69, There is no reason you cannot continue to exercise while you wait for your implant exchange to occur. Exercise will keep you in better shape for your surgery and the post-operative recovery. If you have any doubt about any type of exercise you are planning to perform, please call your plastic surgeon's office for their advice. See you at the gym.
Wile you wait for an implant exchange or implant removal it should be ok to continue with your exercise regimen.
Between implant rupture and replacement surgery, there are no counterindications to exercise. Good luck with the replacement procedure!
Thank you for the question. Yes, you can continue to exercise with a ruptured breast implant in place. Best wishes.

While a double bubble can occur from lowering the bottom fold of the breast, it can also be related to animation problems from the way the muscle is cut for the usual submuscular placement (dual plane). If you notice pulling up where the fold is when you flex your pecs, then it is the muscle...
A so-called pocket exchange, refers to replacing implants from on top of the pectoralis major muscle to below the muscle, or vice versa. Two common indications for a pocket exchange from above to below the muscle are rippling and capsular contracture, both of which are less common with...
Even more important than the volume of your implants is the width, or diameter. Your nipples are lateralized, ribs facing forward, slightly depressed lower sternum, very lean build. 500 cc high profile gel probably OK, will be a D or DD cup. Expect implant edge visibility...
If you like the size of your current 350cc implants and you just like to get "a little bigger", I think 550cc might be too much in volume and also in weight, causing further sagging quicker at your age. 550cc high profile implants should fit just...
