Hit in chest after breast augmentation. Could it have caused a rupture?

December 13, 2018
Asked By:aarivera530

I was hit in the chest with a weighted all (8 lbs) and it was FAST. I immediately fly the pain and burning sensation. it has been 24 hours and I still feel it. will be calling my surgeon if it persists in a few days. it was a very fast but hard hit and hit right on the right breast (middle of breasts but more towards my right one) I wouldn’t be worried if it didn’t hurt and if the hit wasn’t so loud, fast and hard. could a weighted ball cause a rupture? silicone implants 9 months post op
