Knuckle in implant. What can I do? What is a knuckle in an implant?

lillori225
At my 6 week check up I told my plastic surgeon that I felt a soft protruding lump on my right breast. He informed me that it was a knuckle in my implant. And than stated that there was nothing he could do about it! I'm very upset because it seems to be worse now that my breasts have settled more. It is now visable when I wear a bathing suit. What can I do? What is a knuckle in an implant?
