Is it possible to feel a lump where a saline implant has ruptured but not yet removed?

338169
I've had my saline implants for 12 years now. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed my right side deflating. This has been confirmed by a board certified physician.. However, now that the deflation looks complete, I have found a lump that I could not feel 2 weeks ago... Could this possibly be the deflated implant I'm feeling??
