Could I Have Ruptured a Breast Implant Following Pneumonia? Experiencing Burning And Sharp Pain.

It is unlikely that pneumonia can cause damage to your implants and even more unlikely that it causes pain. . Please check with your surgeon and the primary care physician what could cause your symptoms. Ruptured implants are typically asymptomatic although sometimes change in shape of your breast can appear. Your plastic surgeon will be able to determine if your symptoms are related to your breast surgery.

all of the answers below are very good.. although pain is not typical of implant failure,  changes in the capsule such as a tear or increased tightness can create pain or unusual sensations.   saline implants almost always deflate rapidly..  silicone can be "silent"    if you have no more fever or redness.  consider seeing your doctor.

getting an Ultrasound and maybe mri.    at ten years   you may need to start considering replacement

If your breast itself is soft and non-tender to the touch, then it is probably not related to your implant. This is most likely a hold over or referred pain from the pleurisy or musculoskeletal strain radiating to the breast. Another thing I have seen in patients is Costochondritis, or an inflammation of the cartilage along the ribs. This can be very tender and often presents as breast pain or chest tenderness. And then there is the always possible “we may never know” and it resolves on its own!
