"String" / Tendant in my arm pit? (photos)

Good evening Doctors, I had breast augmentation in April 2015. For the most part it's been a smooth recovery however my son was a couple of months old and I carried him a lot on my left side. I now feel smallish lumps near my incision under my breast and noticed a strange feeling under my arm pit when I lift my arm. I now have seen that there is a tendant / "string" running through it (please see attached photo) Can anyone tell me what it is and if it's serious?
