Loud Pop in Breast Implant

January 20, 2011
Asked By:Eastergirl in KENYA

I have silicone breast implants 400cc and I am ten months post surgery. My boyfriend was leaning over me, over my breast when we both heard a loud pop. Subsequently the breast is softer and has more movement. I am feeling twinges of muscular pain in the area around the breast and my back and the spot where the pop came from. I went for an ultrasound and the doctor was unable to pick up anything but an mri has been scheduled. Is it possible for silicone implants to explode this way?
