Lumpiness that is felt along the inferior pole of the breast by the fold is often the implant itself. This is very common, but I would see your doctor if you are concerned.

Saline breast implants
Steven Wallach, 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?

A: Any breast mass should be checked out
10 months ago
2timesD,
Any new mass or lump in the breast should be checked out. There should not be any "water bubble" from your implants. Without seeing a picture, it is hard to give you specific advice. However, you may be feeling your implant protrude from under the muscle, but we would need more clinical information to know for sure. In any case, you should go back to your surgeon and have a thorough breast exam.

A: If you are worried, follow up with your doctor

Odds are it is nothing, you are just feeling a piece of the implant; however, you should set up an appointment to see your surgeon so he can check you out and reassure you.
Without seeing you and feeling your breast, I cannot give you a diagnosis.
A: Probably the implant edge
10 months ago
As stated by the masses above, it is most likely your implant edge. Have your plastic surgeon evaluate it.
Don't forget, you should have at least annual follow up with your surgeon, as well as, your gynecologist for a breast exam. Good luck!
