Hi there i had my breast implant surgery done about 4-5 weeks ago. The 1st couple of weeks my scars were very smooth and i could not feel the difference from when they were there and when they wern't there. It has now been about 5 weeks and all of a sudden they have gone lumpy. They feel very thick and larger then they 1st did. Any thoughts on why they have changed??
