Squishy sound from movement on 7 month old breast augmentation. Could my implant ruptured?

Question

I woke up this morning from laying down and i heard noise from my right implant when sitting up. Went to the restroom and tried to move it around and as i moved it around i hear the sound as well.i took a shower my right and left implant doesn’t feel the same but it never has. Now as i move or get up i feel a odd movement of the implant. Could this be my implant ruptured but i haven’t hit or done any ruff activity

TiggoT. I appreciate your concern, however I doubt your symptoms are a problem such as implant rupture. However, I would follow up with your plastic surgeon in the near future for a full evaluation and peace of mind. Good luck.

Christine Fisher, MD, FACS · Answer

I understand your concern, but without an in-person examination it is difficult to know what might be going on. If you have saline implants, the implant could be deflating, which would likely be due to a manufacturing defect rather than trauma to the breast. The good news is the implant will be under warranty in this case. However, you will need to make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to determine the actual cause. If your implant has developed a leak or rupture, Good luck!

Thanks for your inquiry, without a picture and more importantly an exam it is hard to advise,  I suggest you call you surgeon and be examined in person, good luck.

Dear TiggoT,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

Dear TiggoT:      Thank you for questions. Please follow up with your plastic surgeon. It could be an early deflation but without an examination +/- imaging it is impossible to tell. Please contact your surgeon ASAP. Good luck and I hope this helps!
