Hi, I am 33 yrs old. I have mentors "gummy bear" textured tear drop implants, 500cc. I am 1yr and 4 months post op. I can feel (not see) large lumps in my left breast. 3 total, 2 being new recently.I am out of state and can not see my doctor.I pulled a stitch a day after surgery. It healed slower and left a knot/lump under my nipple that can be felt.My left breast will swell and look square.I feel a burning and itching feeling . I know I need to see a doctor for a MRI.
