Breast Lump and Tightness, Occasional pain, Feels Dense - Any suggestions?

Dear Peaceful347835,
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.

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.

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.

In some cases, breast implants can cause a condition called capsular contracture, where the scar tissue around the implant becomes thickened and can cause discomfort, tightness, and other symptoms. It's possible that this could be contributing to the issues you're experiencing.

It may be a good idea to seek a second opinion from another qualified and reputable surgeon who has experience in breast implant complications. They may recommend additional imaging, such as an MRI, or other tests to further evaluate the issue.

In the meantime, you can also try some at-home remedies to alleviate any discomfort or pain you're experiencing, such as wearing a supportive bra, applying warm compresses, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.

Best of luck !
