Is Pain Due to Rip in Pocket of Breast Implant Under the Muscle?

Asked By:5563anon in Austin, TX

I had silicone implants put in under the muscle six months ago. I fear i may have damaged the pocket on the left by overexerting myself one month after surgery. There has been some pain there ever since that comes and goes. It feels like the implant may be protruding slightly at bottom on that side.
