Brief Answer:
No need to go to ER, wait for doctor appointment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You can safely wait for doctor appointment. A breast implant can get ruptured with aging and that's why it is ruptured. I think you don't need to go to ER because it is not an emergency. The silicone is not absorbed by the body. It is more likely that it remains I'm fibrotic capsule formed around implant.

Hope I have answered the question.

First of all, thank you. Secondly I notice a "mooshiness" heading almost into the armpit and below original incision, about 1 inch, does this possibly add any urgency?
