After doing further research, is it possibly that my implant ruptured? There is no pain associated with it, but I do feel as though my one boob just started to go downhill and gets worse everyday. It is much softer than my right one and very droopy. When I jump, it moves like a punching bag whereas my other one is more firm. Is it just sagging from breastfeeding or do you think I have a medical problem? I did have mastitis a few months ago, could this cause a rupture?
Answer: Ruptured implant? It's possible that one implant has ruptured. If you have saline, the breast will gradually get smaller. So waiting is ok, you aren't harmed by the leaking salt water.

Answer: Could I have possibly ruptured and implant? If you have noticed a relatively sudden change in breast size or "squishiness", then it is possible that you are dealing with a ruptured saline breast implant. If the breast changes you have experienced have been more gradual in nature, then the changes are most likely related to changes secondary to pregnancy and/or breast-feeding. Mastitis, assuming no one placed a needle into your breast, would not necessarily have caused a rupture. My best advice remains the same as during an earlier post. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Feeding and Breast Implants No, I don't think that you ruptured the implant. I reviewed your question earlier and I think most of the issues can be reviewed once you are done breast feeding.

Answer: Implant rupture? Implants from one side to the other can feel differently. If you have saline implants and one is ruptured, that side would look deflated. With silicone it might look a bit different but may not look deflated. You are best to see your surgeon.
