Asked By:Heather2474 in Mundelein, Illinois

In 2012 i had a nipple sparring double mastectomy followed by reconstruction. I had a few revisions throughout the years. Then in 2018 my plastic surgeon went to swap them out and found a mass. I was diagnosed with triple positive her2. Went thru chemo, radiation, etc. The implants were under the muscle so no need to take them out. Done with treatment 2019/2020. Recently been having a lot of pain on the left side. Hurts to the touch. Wondering if this could be the implant?
