Can a breast expander's port get damaged?

Asked By:koolkat122 in United Kingdom, GB

I got my expander put in about a month ago and since then I have had some pain around the port and when I put my hand where it is to feel, I can almost feel a fluid around the port area and the tube. Would I have damaged it by fiddling with it at all? How sturdy is the port? Would it be able to leak at all? Thanks!
