Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: What could be causing warm and tender breasts?

I had silicone breast implants 8 years ago, underneath breast tissue. For the last 6 months, about every 2 weeks, my breasts get really tender and warm but then it goes away. Do you think it has anything to do with the implants or is it hormonal?

Kind regards,
chrissy

A clinical exam will be needed to rule out any developing capsular contracture, if implant leak is suspected an Ultra sound or MRI might need to be done. Infection is another differential diagnosis, but it is unlikely in the abscence of other clinical signs.
