Could pressure from a back massage cause damage to 2 year old breast implants?

Asked By:theressa17 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I’m 2.5 years post op from breast lift with implants. I had the Motiva round gel implants. I had a massage yesterday and the massage therapist pressed down hard on my upper back with his forearms. Today my breasts are very sore, the right more than the left. It feels like sharp pain. Should I be worried about damage to the implants or surrounding tissue?
