I wear a bra(underwire) that is purposely too small with two sportsbras ontop when I run to avoid bouncing. Lately I've had awful awful indentions and severe pain in one of my breasts. Is wearing these bras compromising my implants and could it damage them from the tight pressure. (Cause Rupture,leak etc?)

Answer: Breast implants and bras
The bras would not likely cause a rupture, however it sounds like they are causing some discomfort. I would try different bras until you find something that is not causing a problem. If the severe pain is still present then I would have your plastic surgeon evaluate your breasts to make sure there isn't something else going on. Especially if the indentations do not go away after having the bras off for several hours/days.

Answer: Tight jog bras with breast implants
The support offered by a snug jog bra or sports bra will not damage your breast implants, and may actually reduce soreness in the breast induced by exercise. Don't worry about leaks or rupture.
Best of luck,
