Answer: Removal of a failed silicone gel implant is not an emergency.
The cost of breast augmentation will vary widely based on where you live and the experience of the surgeon. In general, you should expect to pay 5-7000 for a straightforward breast augmentation. In general, saline implants are less expensive.
You have minimal breast tissue and also very strong upper body. The placement of the silicone implant under the pectoralis has the down side of implant lateral displacement. This is more common in patients that continue upper body workout. The cause of displacement is limited release...
It is difficult to assess what is going on without a physical exam. What you are feeling could be your implant. However, just to be safe, I would proceed with breast imaging to make sure they are not breast tissue masses. Play it safe.
