Continual scar irritation.
At this point in your recovery, it is uncommon to have persistent scar pain. Something is likely irritation the scar either internally or externally. I recommend a visit to your plastic surgeon to evaluate the scar. The treatment can range from injections to a total scar revision.

A painful scar that late after surgery is not normal.
The scar should not be that tender 18 months after surgery. I would suggest that you discuss this with your surgeon. A steroid injection or scar revision may be indicated.

Painful scar after breast augmentation may need minor revision.
The discomfort that you are describing can be related to a scar that has not healed ideally. That is, it may be red, thickened and elevated at least slightly. If this fairly well describes the scar on your left breast, then it often can be easily treated by cutting it our and reclosing it simply using local anesthesia.
Rarely, a small amount of steroid medicine injected into the area can be helpful.
