Could breast pumping have affected my silicone breast implants? Is this something I should be concerned about?

summerbaby123
Hello. I have had breast implants (silicone put in under the muscle) for about a year. I just delivered my baby about a month ago. I pumped about three times, then decided against it. My breasts just look droopy and a little misshaped. It somewhat looks like there is a little ridge under my breasts. Could this be that I am just not used to being so full anymore from pregnancy? How Would I know if something had ruptured or is it very common to happen? Thank you
