How do I know my Breast Implants have a Problem

If you're wondering, "How do I know my breast implants have a problem?", watch for signs like pain, swelling, or changes in shape. Common issues include capsular contracture, where the implant feels hard or tight, and implant rupture, leading to deflation or asymmetry. If your breasts feel unusually firm, painful, or misshapen, it could indicate a problem.

Other symptoms include rippling, sudden size changes, or discomfort. Breast implant illness (BII) may also cause fatigue, joint pain, or rashes. If you notice persistent pain, redness, or fluid buildup, seek medical attention immediately.

Regular self-checks and imaging like ultrasounds or MRIs help detect hidden problems. If you suspect an issue, consult a specialist to determine the best course of action. Early detection ensures breast implant health and prevents complications. Always monitor your implants to maintain both aesthetic results and overall well-being.
