Is Silicone implant leakage likely when chest trauma (rib fracture) and bruising of the breast is apparent?

mbtampabay
I took a fall and have fractured my ribs. I'm concerned that my implant(s) may have been compromised. I have extreme pain in my chest/ribs and bruising on 1 breast. I do not have medical coverage currently due to unemployment, nor do I have money for a Dr., X-ray or MRI. What symptoms should I be looking for? My augmentation experiences have all been 'botched' to put it politely.
