I am exactly 2 years post op breast implant, incision under breast, today I felt with my hand a hard mass alond the incision line, which hasn't been there before.....I took pictures of the swelling.....It doesn't hurt or itch....I think it's new because I would have felt it otherwise.

Please help as I am absolutely worried!
