avidhorsewoman
12 days post -op. Started massage on breasts. One side feels right - the other side has the caved in nipple where the ps took all the tissue because of silicone leak outside the capsular. History:Had trauma to capsular/implant landing on it from fall off horse. PS said that breast/silicone was everywhere. Now I found a hard mass lump bigger than gumball and longer. Can't move it and it is separate from scar below breast. Located where tape is in pic. Hard mass. Thanks
