Question

It's been 3 years since my procedure. I have no visible signs of rupture

Thank you for your question.  After three years, you should not be concerned about any serious damage to the implant.  If you become increasingly concerned as more time passes, please see your surgeon.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

can result in symptoms you are experiencing.  But if there are not other changes such as the softness or size of the breast, its likely nothing you have to worry about.  If you are experiencing changes beyond symptoms, you should see your surgeon for an evaluation.

I would not be too concerned unless there is are noticeable changes in the breast that was hit. The changes to worry about are tightening or firmness, increased swelling or a decrease in the size of the breast. Most likely it has some inflammation, and I would recommend taking an anti-inflammatory for a few days.
