I had a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia and there was a 6mm "nodular type density" seen in the upper left pole which requires further testing. I have silicone breast implants that are placed under the muscle, my incision was made in the crease under the breast, could it be scar tissue or anything to do with my breast augmentation?
