I have had persistent soreness in one breast. My PS says i may have torn my pocket. Nothing looks abnormal... if anything there may be slight swelling. Very minor if so. Its hard to sleep on that side. Its feels tight/tingly and sometimes it spasms. My implants are 3 yrs old and under the muscle. Its been 4 wks since i first noticed the pain. Taking ibuprofen and using ice. Little to no improvement.

Hi kristenb0920,
Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient.
Implant profile...
The only thing red in your photos lies outside the areola and are stretch marks. Has there been any weight fluctuations? It would be hard to explain why they popped up now but they appear to be stretch marks. See a local plastic surgeon if you desire confirmation.
I would more term your areolae as herniated. This can be improved a few different ways but they would all involve scars around the areolae. The lollipop lift is a good option combined with the implants because it prevents your areolae from getting stretched out again.
