Is there another diagnostic test that other than an MRI that would show a rupture?

Asked By:eresendez0207 in Houston, Texas

My breast augmentation was in 2013. I have mentor silicone under muscle implants. My left implant is hard and has moved up to a higher position on my chest and my right has lost upper pole fullness. I cannot have an MRI due to an medtronic implant for my bladder I have in my body. Is there another diagnostic test that other than an MRI that would show a rupture?
