Post implants 10+ years - Developed what feels like little tiny pebbles right underneath the skin. What could these be?

Asked By:cmedley05 in Marion, Indiana

I had obtained implants under the muscle about ten years ago. Last year I developed what feels like little tiny pebbles right underneath the skin of my areolas on both breasts. I had them looked at during my mammogram and ultrasound. They couldn’t even detect these “rocks” that you can plainly feel with just your hands. Some of them feel very sharp like they can push thru my skin with a little pressure. I know my areolas were removed during surgery. What could these be? Cause for concern?
