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?
