Hello I've undergone breast augmentation about 4 months ago, I've had silicone gel subglandular. I've developed some pimples and I've popped them will this damage my breast implants? ( I'm always careful although, I know that it is not good because it can cause infection). Will exerting force on the skin cause any harm? ( for example change their appearance or deflate them if I keep doing that /or if I ever popped any pimple in the future?) Thanks in advance.
