Hi I have had my silicon implants for 5 years (below muscle) I just noticed last night when I flex my pecs there is a dimpling from outside areola and goes horizontal for a couple inches... Can muscle flexion just appear years after implant or is it likely related to a breast lump that I have ( having Mamo & sono Friday )

First and foremost, you need to have this lump evaluated by your plastic surgeon and possibly a breast surgeon. Although the odds may favor the implant, it is important to rule out any possibility of a true breast tumor. No one on this site will be able to tell you if you are feeling your implant.
Thank you for your question! You have to be 18 years old to have a breast augmentation, although gel implants are only available in some offices to women 21 years or older. Do your research and find a board certified plastic surgeon discuss your goals and concerns. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval Pa...
If the implant does not feel the same as it did before, it is probably a good idea to go for an exam with your doctor. You may need an MRI to definitively tell you id the implant is ruptured.
