Loud pop from implant, rupture or closed capsulotomy?

July 10, 2018
Asked By:RAAM74 in Murrieta, California

Four days ago, a friend of mine gave me a bear hug, resulting in a loud pop from my right implant. After the "pop", I was immediately in pain with a sharp and shooting sensation. The following days my right breast hurt as if I had just had my surgery. Today I'm still sore, but not in pain. I've noticed that my breast is soft, but now looks misshapen. Could this have ruptured my implant? My original plastic surgeon has retired so I cannot call him, nor do I even know who to go to.
