Breast Augmentation 2 Years Ago - Started Feeling Tight a Week Ago

February 1, 2011
Asked By:Toronto2400 in Toronto, ON

I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago. In the last week my left breast has felt tight. No pain, no change in shape, nothing out of the ordinary. It just feels tight. I had gone two years without even noticing I had breast implants (they became a part of me) but now I can "feel" the left one. What could it be?
