Hello. I’m 13 months post surgery. About a month ago I stared noticing my right implant was feeling a little different, like there was an air bubble in it. Now I can feel the edge of the implant. Could this be a sign of rupture? I have Ideal implants 490ccs.

Answer: Possible rupture Dear valentinars8, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Breast implants Hi, thank you for sharing your question. While the photo gives the impression that the right breast may be smaller than the left, the best way to make a diagnosis is with an imaging study. Feeling the edge of the implant can be normal. Discuss these concerns with your plastic surgeon.
