My dog just stepped on my boob while i was laying down. He is 50 pounds. Could this do any damage to my saline implant? I had surgery 05/2017. It hurts a lot with a shooting pain down my arm. I’m paranoid this could turn into something serious. Thank you in advance!

Answer: Could my implant be damaged? Thank you for your question. It is very unlikely that the implant is damaged. It is more likely the discomfort you are having is from trauma to the breast tissue or muscle. With a little time this should improve. If the saline implant has been ruptured it will be easy to tell as the implant will go flat.

Answer: Dog did it IT is highly unlikely that a dog hitting the implant caused a leak/rupture. With a saline implant though you should notice within a few days if it is getting smaller than the other breast - which would be a sign of a leak. Much more common is a bruise to the breast itself, or underlying muscle. This can be treated with NSAID's and OTC meds. If concern still remains contact your plastic surgeon.
