I get a pinch sensation after bending down and coming back up. Breast goes numb a few hours after it happens. (Photo)

Not painful and onleft side. 7wk po. 800cc gel. It happens literally everytime doesnt hurt but boob goes numb and after the numbing ends i feel a sharp pain in a small spot it felt it had opened at. I felt as if it tore open it didnt hurt but i swear i felt as if it opened and now i feel tht little pinching feelin. Everytime i come up from bendin or sometimes when i turn over. Could the capsule that forms over the implant have ripped or do you think its the actual implant. Any help is appreciated
