What are symptoms of your body rejecting implants? Can it happen 2 years after breast surgery?

Asked By:Cowboystx in Katy, TX

I've had implants for 7 years then my left one ruptured! 2 years later I'm having strange symptoms like chostrocondritis and pain under my left breast for 6 weeks. My plastic surgeon said my implants are fine but What are your symptoms if your body rejects implants?
