Worried my Implant Has Ruptured After Being Tightly Hugged. Am I Being Paranoid?

June 13, 2012

Im 5ft 100lbs 6wks postop w Natrelle textured silicone-filled HP260cc implants. 5days ago my 6'9" friend gave me a VERY strong hug where I was lifted off the ground &couldnt breathe. SO paranoid that my right implant ruptured as its noticeably softer since. Began feeling weird sensations there for the past 5days & last night I felt movement as I rolled in bed. Had surgery out of the country & cant visit my PS. Is my right just healing faster than my left/am i being paranoid/how strong are these?

Answer: It is unlikely that a hug would rupture an implant, but the area where the implant sits may have been stretched
