Lumps in my right breast after explantation. Could this be scar tissue?

July 14, 2017
Asked By:Trace141 in Australia, AU

I had my implants removed almost 6 months ago due to infection and always had a small amount of pain, over the past two weeks I have noticed a hard lump in my right breast above my nipple, right breast is still sore, left breast no lumps, I'm wondering if this could be scar tissue ? I don't want to panic just yet and live in a remote area, so I'm not able to get to a plastic surgeon
