Fluid filled lump on incision site 6 months after revision - what might this be? (photo)

Question

I'm 20F and I had my breast augmentation in March 2022. The left breast was a lot smaller than the right breast so a much bigger implant was usee to make equal. I had surgery again on my left breast in July and everything was healing fine. Then randomly in October I noticed this lump filled with fluid on the incision site. Turns out it was not an infection but no doctor i've seen knows what it is.

Dear Versatile919705,
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.

You need to be seen by your surgeon right away. It appears that your implant may be trying to erode through your thin tissue.  Please be checked now.
