Should I be concerned about possible implant rupture caused by a bite? Under muscle, bruising. (photo)

Asked By:mybajourneyxx in Indianapolis, IN

I work with mental health patients and one of them bit my boob. It was slight and brief but hard enough to bruise and break so surface level skin without bleeding. It wasn't a full on grip thankfully because of my bra. He just caught a small part of my boob. Is it likely that my implant would have been damaged? I had under the muscle breast implants.
