breast implants

has any one experienced a rupture of a breast implant and what would be the signs when feeling the breast

[PaulMD]

Hi there.

Ruptured breast implants can have varied presentations.  The presentation can be as benign as just an asymmetry outside the breast contour, to as severe as inflammation, swelling, pain and infection of the surrounding breast tissues.

However, the best way to evaluate this is by having diagnostic imaging tests such as a breast ultrasound or an MRI.  I would suggest that you have the breasts examined by a doctor as the presentation can really be diverse.

Regards.
