Asked By:RinaMarie in Frisco, TX

My implants are 14 years old. Two days ago one just deflated no trauma or injury . I was just taking a shower. I have pain and aching now? Since my surgery 14 years ago I have never had any problems ever no harding scar tissue...that I know of. I plan on seeing a doctor to get them replaced. Just don't know since I have never experienced any pain until it deflated if thats normal or something I need to be worried about??
