Hi there!! I'm in process of trying to get an MRI on L side as I have been feeling 'ripples' and what feels like the outer shell protruding out in little points here and there and thinking I have a slow rupture as never felt like this before. Just started @ 3 months ago. These implants are 10 years old which they estimate to be the shelf life.. I'll find out thru MRI if I have a rupture, which I'm thinking I might. My question is.... Has anyone here experienced this? And if anyone here HAS had implants replaced after 10 years or so.... what was surgery and recouperation like? I had a double MX which took long time to heal and regain strength etc... is it the same/similar? Or easier? Needing to know for work etc... Thanks in advance!
