Answer: Bulge and popping sensation near my scar That is most likely your implant. If the tissues are thin in that area, the implant can budge like a weak area in an inner tube. Typically, this is a benign condition and doesn't require treatment or intervention unless the overlying tissue is exceptionally thin. In that situation the thin area can be strengthened by bringing the surrounding tissues together as a simple outpatient procedure.

Answer: The bulge is most likely your implant The bulge you’re seeing and feeling is your implant. Don’t fret. The tissue between your skin(scar) and the implant is quite thin, but is plenty strong enough. It is common to be able to feel a breast implant at this site, particularly if a dual plane technique has been used. Because I don’t know the exact techniques your plastic surgeon used, it would be reasonable for you to send your question and photos to him/her. Hope this helps.

Answer: Almost 1 year post op and I noticed a bulge and popping sensation near my scar, what could this be? Thank you for posting. It is hard to say with just a couple photos but it could actually be the implant. Th best way to confirm this is with a sonogram. Please consult your plastic surgeon. I’m sure he will to ask for breast imaging in order to better address this issue. If it is the implant a simple revision will do.
