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

Carol from NJJun 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?

Thank you for the photos.  It is a bit hard to comment on the asymmetry as we don't have one pre op.  There may have been some asymmetries that we are seeing more clearly now with the implants.  You are early in your post operative course.  Implants typically start to move downward at one mon...

At 3.5 months post-op, your look appears perfect, because over the next 3-6 months you will almost certainly drop a tiny bit more. You look great now, and your surgeon is to be congratulated on a splendid result. You are to be congratulated on a splendid choice and result thus far! Scar...
