Hi, I had a silicone 325cc, dual plan breast augmentation done from about 4 months ago. I went from an A cup to C! My recovery was perfect, no issues at all. I’ve just noticed a small lump near areola. It’s not showing on the breast, I can only feel it. No pain, but there’s some kind of difference feeling around this area. My surgeon is not located where I live, so he can’t examine me. Is it something I should worry about? What could that be please?

Hi & thanks for your question.
It can take up to 6 months for the implants to drop and settle into position. Continue to follow your post operative instructions and contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best wishes!
