7 yrs post op, my right breast is swollen and hot to the touch. Swelling is more prominent lower cleavage. Is this normal?

Swelling is more prominent lower cleavage area of breast. Yesterday I was sure I had the flu. 3 Advil and a nap, I woke with right breast swollen and hot to the touch but flu symptoms gone. Swelling is more prominent at lower cleavage side of breast and size of walnut. Implants are Mentor Memory Gel, surgery year 2007. No traumatic injury has occurred. What could this be and what could cause it just "out of the blue"?
