January 1, 2025
Asked By:witchcraft in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I had breast implants in 2018 in Colombia. Textured over the muscle, areola incision. Lately ive noticed a dull pain, and a shifting, crinkling, snapping feeling where the left implant bulges when i flex my pectoral muscle. Is it ruptured? Or rippling? And how long can they stay like this untol i need a revision? Ive inclided photos of me relaxed, and then of me flexing and the difference. Thankyou in advance!
