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

lalelo19May 21, 2018
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)

Thank you for your question. This particular bacteria can occasionally cause superficial wound infections. As long as you are well and the breast does not feel warm or tender I would not be concerned. Please complete your course of antibiotics and see your surgeon after.
