Noticed a ripple and what feels like an air bubble on my left implant towards my cleavage. What could this be? (Photo)

Asked By:Manda91. in Utah, UT

I've had my silicone implants (under the muscle) for 2 months. I've just recently noticed I have some sort of rippling when I push my implants up. The next day, I noticed a strange bump on my breast. It feels like an air bubble. Both the "ripple" and air bubble are on the medial side of my left breast. I can press down on the air bubble and it "deflates". It isn't a solid feeling either. Please give me an idea what this could be to ease my mind until I can see my PS. Thank you!!
