I Had Silicone Breast Augmentation 8 Months Ago and I Feel Like There's Lumps Deep Inside in the Areola Part on the Left Breast?

Since the surgery i always felt the left side never felt normal like the other side. If i jogged it felt weird and aerola was always sensitve on the left side. Now recently noticed that when i bend over it feels like there's a popping feeling and when i palpitate the areola i feel like hard, rough kinda lumpy tissue deep inside just under the areola. Just wondering if you've heard of anything alike? It feels like a pressure point like maybee the implant is hooking and then it pops. I guess also worried of possible scar tissue...

The lumpy tissue can be scar tissue, normal breast tissue, a cyst, or something more ominous. I... more
