Brief Answer:
An MRI would be required

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am Dr.Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

An MRI would be able to confirm whether the breat implant is still intact or not.

For bruising i would suggest a supplement of a vitamin C once daily for 15 days. Bruising should resolve in about 2-3 weeks.

Let me know if there's any further doubts..
