I had breast augmentation on January 12th, so I'm almost 8 weeks post op. I had gummy bear, round, high profile 280 CC under the muscle. 2 week's after surgery, I noticed a pea sized lump under my areola on my left breast. I mentioned it at my 3 week post o.o appointment to the nurse. She said it's likely a swollen gland due to surgery. I was told to watch it, and to let them know if it doesn't go away, or gets bigger. Is it possible to still be a swollen gland? Should I worry?
