Trauma to silicone breast implant while playing with a friend's dog. Could it be ruptured?

Asked By:storklh in Paris, TX

A friend's dog and I were playing last night and he was wagging his tail vigourously and slapped my left breast really hard against it, very much like a whiplash. I felt some immedate sharp pain which then subsided but am afraid this may have damaged the implant? This morning there is virtually no pain or sensitivity nor is there any bruising or swelling or redness. I will schedule a conversation / examination with my surgeon in any case but wanted to get your thoughts? Thanks!
