Can deep massage on the upper back cause implants to rupture?

November 3, 2017
Asked By:Sadie_Lemon in Vancouver, BC

I have under the muscle implants and after the massage which focused on my upper back, I had a burning sensation in my breast and it hasn't subsided since which has been going on for about a day. Could I have a ruptured implant? The massage was pretty deep pressure. My implants are from 2012 and I believe they are the gel kind. If it is a leak, will it be less severe since it is not liquid silicone?
