If you have gel implants, you would not be able to determine if there was a rupture (this is determined primarily by MRI examination). Rupture of a saline implant would result in breasts that are suddenly soft and rapidly diminish in size to your pre-op state. It is exceedingly unlikely that lifting a baby a six days has caused a rupture of either type of implant. Soreness is almost universal at this stage.
