The Scar Tissue Pocket Around my Implant Has Ruptured. How Can This Be Repaired?

September 14, 2012
Asked By:magnoliad

I had implants inserted 1 year ago and have had no issues what so ever. I woke up with pain in my right breast and realized that something was wrong. It feels as if the implant is now laying right next to my skin and feels totally different than my other implant. I have made an appt with my plastic surgeon but am wondering what they will do if the scar tissue pocket has ruptured.
