Breast mass should always be investigated

Stephen A. Goldstein, MD answers: Lump after breast augmentation with saline implants

I had saline breast implants about 9 months ago. On my left breast, there is a lump that feels like a water bubble. Is this normal? What could this be?

I am so glad you asked this question, as it has vast implications for all women.  A

breast mass should always be investigated regardless of the circumstances. More than likely, the “lump” that you have detected is related to the breast augmentation. 

Please return to your treating plastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation, diagnostic tests, and imaging to establish an accurate diagnosis.

Best of luck!  I hope this helps.
