Asked By:annonann88 in McLean, VA

I had 400cc silicone subpectoral implants placed 5 years ago. 2 months ago, I had some itching at the incision site only on the right breast and thought it was an allergy to my bra. 3 days ago my fingers became red, itchy and painfully swollen whenever I touched something cold. Today, I had a dull ache in the lower right quadrant of my right breast that has progressed to a radiating, warm pain in the rib area, pec and up spread to my right arm, towards my jaw, and my back. Also swelling on side.
