My right nipple seems like it is has an indention in it. What do you think? (photo)

Question

What could this be? What is going on? There is kind of a hard spot that I can feel behind the nipple. I'm not sure what it is. I've had silicone implants for at least a year and a half now. I've just recently noticed this. Please help.

Thank you for your question and photos.  From the photos alone, it is not possible to determine what is going on. Any time there is something new or a change to your breasts, you should see your surgeon.  I would start with your plastic surgeon but he or she may refer you to another specialist if there is concern.

If you have a new hard lump a year and a half after breast augmentation you absolutely need an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon or breast surgeon to make sure everything is okay.  I would not delay in this.  Best wishes.

This is an excellent result in terms of size, shape, and symmetry. I can see some flattening at the top of the right nipple. If with stimulation it fills out like the left side, then it may simply be a change in muscular tone.  The hardness agreeably, could be due to a cyst or blocked duct.  Any changes in nipple consistency, retraction, indentation, and or drainage should be reported to your doctor.

you can have normal scar tissue or a cyst. Please see your surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

Can not diagnose via the internet. Best to seek only in person opinions and examinations for this issue..
