Possible rupture or muscle strain with silicone implants?

portishead0503
I have had silicone implants (under the muscle) since March 2007. 2 days ago I was play wrestling with a friend and felt and heard a pop in my right breast. It has been tender ever since but looks normal and still feels soft however there seems to be a small soft lump in the area where I felt the pop. Could I have ruptured my implant or could this be a muscle strain or bruise?
