Could laying on a massage table rupture or damage my implants? (photo)

Question

Last week I got a tattoo and had to lay down on a massage table for about two hours. Since then I have random soreness in my right breast, it also feels tighter and has more ripples than it did before. I did have my right elbow locked around my right breast while laying on the table, and I was really tense due to the pain from the tattoo/the cold a/c blowing on me. (My left breast has always pointed to the side and is slightly larger, but my right breast seems wider than it was before)

Thanks for your inquiry, please go be seen by your plastic surgeon.  The rupture rate of implants is very low, but does happen.  You will get peace of mind by making a visit, good luck.

Thank you for your question.I do see the asymmetry you are referring to in the picture. The best thing to do is to be evaluated in person by your surgeon to figure out what is going on.  With only a picture, it is not a good base to make any judgement.

George Papanicolaou, MD · Answer

Hello, I do see asymmetry from your pictures. However, it may be the asymmetry that you mention was there previously. Implants are very hard to rupture.  A rupture from lying on your stomach for a couple hours while getting a tattoo is unlikely, but it is best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon to be examined for peace of mind at the very least
