Hi Ladies,

I am having difficulties with my left implant. I had exchange surgery Jan. 2013. I noticed recently that the left implant feels like it is bottoming out. It feels like an air pocket. My ps ordered an MRI to rule out a leak/ rupture.  I had a pbmx in  August of 2012. Do they use a contrast dye  when evaluating an implant post masectomy? Thanks so much!!
