Rip in Pocket Surrounding Breast Implant

4830anon
Is it possible to "rip" the pocket your silicone implant sits in? I have under the muscle silicone implants for 8 years. No problems. During exercise (aerobics) I felt the a rip inside my right breast. I would swear the pocket the implant is in has torn. It is very sore. Possible?
