I've had my implants for 5 years and I'm 21 weeks pregnant. I can feel a lump. Is this my silicone implant?

It is difficult to determine what exactly the lump is without an in person examination. You should make an appointment with your plastic surgeon immediately. 

This is something that is best evaluated in person.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question.  Without a photograph it is difficult to make a recommendation, but your best bet would be to discuss this with your ob/gyn who may be able to identify the cause, or seek out your plastic surgeon directly for reassurance and piece of mind.  Any recent changes in your breast should be evaluated by a medical professional who can help guide you for help if needed.

It is possible that your are feeling your implants as breasts will change with pregnancy.To be on the safe side, it is always advisable to be examined by your plastic surgeon or primary care provider if something feels different in your breast.Thanks for sharing.

Maybe but best to see your PS or another boarded PS to examine and try to determine the answer for you...

Any breast lump needs to be evaluated by trained surgeon.   Because of the hormone changes during pregnancy, these lumps must be seen and examined ASAP.    

Any lump acquired during pregnancy retires work up. Begin by showing it to your obstetrician or plastic surgeon. Diagnostic testing may required. Best of luck,

Breasts usually become tender and lumpy during second trimester of pregnancy as the gland changes under influence of hormones. But what your lump feels hollow and can be pushe inside. This could be your implant itself. Please do see your plastic surgeon to confirm and to reassure yourself.

In most cases having breast implants shouldn't affect one's pregnancy or one's ability to breast feed.  However, if you feel a lump in your breast be certain to bring this to your doctor's attention.  A physical exam and/or mammogram should be able to help determine what the lump is.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
