16 years post op BA, left breast has started having this vibrating feeling, what could this be?

Question

I have had my implants for 16 years,they still look amazing I have never had this problem in the past.Out of nowhere today I had a vibrating feeling on my left breast. It's like when you have your cell phone on vibrate. It felt as if I had my cell phone in my bra! It doesn't hurt it's annoying kinda like when you suddenly get a ring in your ear. That type of annoying. I did a self breast exam from my calvacal bone all around the breast area. Nothing out of the ordinary. What can this be?

Dear Graselita1960,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your doctor for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

If your implants are under the muscle, you may be having some mild muscle twitching. This could be related to some physical activity you did just prior to the twitching, or even stress. However, I would suggest meeting with your primary care physician and being examined.  If you have not had a mammagram in a while, please go get one.

Sorry for your problem but an examination is really needed though it may just be muscle spasms.  To be safe see your surgeon or other expert in the areaDr Corbin
