Brief Answer:
I suggest an MRI confirmation of rupture

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have taken note of your query and I have understood it.

I suggest an MRI scan to confirm if it is a rupture.

If it was a silicone implant it would be advisable to get it removed.
The longer the silicone is allowed to leak into the body, the more time it has to migrate to other parts of your body.
