I had my procedure a 1.5 years ago, silicone implants. I developed a lump in my L breast, I’ve been having dull intermittent discomfort in that breast that goes away after a few sec, pain and tightness when i lay or apply pressure on the breast. It also feels denser than my R breast. I have none of these issues in my R. I got an U/S and the lump was normal tissue, iwent to my surgeon and he stated everything looks normal & lump/discomfort has nothing to do with implant. Any suggestions?

Answer: Breast lump Whenever a lump or mass is felt it needs to be evaluated to rule out anything concerning. If the physical exam and ultrasound did not yield any answers you may want to consider a mammogram. Depending on the results you can consider removing the lump.

Answer: BA It's important to follow up with your surgeon and continue to monitor the lump and any discomfort or pain you're experiencing in your breast. While the ultrasound may have ruled out any concerning abnormalities, it's still possible that the lump or other symptoms could be related to the implant.

Answer: Lump You may just have very dense tissue, but I would keep an eye on the area. Vitamin E 1000 iu could be helpful and avoiding caffeine and chocolate to decrease discomfort.

Answer: An unexplained lump in the breast requires an accurate diagnosis. At a minimum based on your history of a painful lump in your breast, I would suggest a mammogram and an examination by a breast surgeon other than your plastic surgeon. A breast surgeon may recommend an MRI or may recommend watchful waiting or may recommend a needle biopsy depending on the type of lump or mass seen on an MRI.
