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

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?

You can ask your surgeon this question. Typically, surgeons provide information about compression garments to their patients. Your surgeon may even give you the garment as well.

Your symptoms seem to warrant a follow up visit to your surgeon. He or she can provide better advice after a thorough in person evaluation.

Thanks for your question! I'm inclined to say a moderate profile will achieve your goals, but an in-person consultation is really the best way to figure that out. Best of luck!

No need to worry. This appears to be a normal vein that does not require any treatment. Just keep an eye on the area, it will likely stay the same.

Breast implants can give you upper pole fullness. If you go with a implant that is not to big, you can achieve natural looking breasts. Find a implant that compliments your body and you can have natural, fuller breasts.

Hello @lilxenax thank you for your question. Without a proper assessment an expert opinion is not possible. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
