Hello,
If your implanted breasts feel like hard lumps, you might have some capsular contracture or scar tissue around them. I would recommend you see your surgeon to see what he or she might suggest.

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Signs of leaking breast implants
I've had my breast implants for about 4 years. When I lie down my implants sometimes feel like a misshapen, hard lump. I can also feel the implants and some soreness. Are these signs my breast implants are leaking? How can I tell?

A: Leaking breast implants

Saline implants that are leaking are easier to diagnose than silicone implants. In general, if there is a significant leak, you will know it in a day or so, because you will have a smalled deflated breast. There are cases where the leak can be small enough that the deflation will take place over a month or so. What you are describing does not sound like a deflation to me. Not certain what you are describing, but unlikely a deflation. Hope that helps.
