Asked By:salwin21

About 3 months ago i found a lump just to the side of my nipple,about the size of a small pea. I have saline implants that are under the muscle and have had them for 10+ years with no lumps ever found until now. Went to gyno who scheduled mammo and u/s both came back fine and they said it must be my implants that im feeling. Im not understanding why now a lump is showing up and how could it be my implants? Should i get another opinion?
