Why do I have a warm and tickling sensation in my left breast? (photos)

Question

I have been having some ticklish and warm sensations inside my breast implant which goes on and off since my augmentation in 2016. Left armpit is a lil swollen but lymph nodes looked fine. My oncologist ordered a breast ultrasound and everything looked clear except a thin layer of capsular contraction. Should I worry?

To properly assess your condition would require an in person evaluation. Schedule a follow up visit with your surgeon who, in addition to your oncologist,  can guide and help you with the diagnosis and treatment.

Dear Cassey george,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You may have some scar tissue around a small sensory nerve that is giving you with weird sensation. Try massaging the area to overstimulate this nerve.
