Can tearing chest muscle cause implant/capsule rupture?

January 30, 2019
Asked By:HeavyRep in Inverness, V3

I either badly strained or teared muscle in my chest wall due to dead lifting too much weight. Ever since then, my chest wall, breast on that side and also arm is sore and irritated. I have been resting the injury and am awaiting xray. I am wondering if there could be damage/rapture to my 9 years old implant which is placed over, not under, the muscle. I am worried implant or its capsule could rapture due to trauma to chest wall. What are the chances of this happening?
