Can tight sports bras cause damage at 4 months post-op?

February 28, 2019
Asked By:Michyyy13 in Los Angeles, CA

For work purposes I have to wear an extreme tight fitting sports bra which almost flattens my breasts. I am currently 4 months post op. While wearing one of the bras, I felt pain in my right breast and when touching the outer part of the implant (underneath my armpit) I heard and felt a squishy sound. Could my implants rupture from this? I have 400cc silicone MENTOR moderate plus profile (memory gel) Implants. I went from a 34a/b to a 34D/DD.
