Ruptured Saline Implant - severe chest pain and shallow breathing. Could this be an infection?

How can all this work up be done and you not have seen a plastic surgeon? Something is not right! You need surgery and If your implant was ruptured it would be flat and to have a breast this large of a breast is a huge hematoma or seroma but not just a muscle spasm. Please update us ASAP.

It sounds and looks like you have an enlarging seroma or hematoma as a result of your blunt trauma last month. You should see a plastic surgeon as soon as you can as you are going to need surgery fix this problem and exchange out your broken implant. I would do this sooner than later since you said your breast is getting bigger and tighter and because you are so uncomfortable. Good luck! I hope this helped.Thomas Taylor, MD, FACS

Thank you for your question.  Without an in person evaluation it is hard to diagnose what is going on. I would recommend seeing your surgeon or a doctor asap to be evaluated.  Best of luck to you. 

Dear tracypgirl,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
