Lump in breast with implants
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in breast with implants
lump
At that time the plastic surgeon removed all off the questionable lump before putting the new implants in. (and the lump was really just normal tissue with the second biopsy)
So, when all was said and done, it was determined that my lump was probably caused by scar tissue probably from the large rippling saline implants that I had for 10 years. The plastic surgeon felt that the ripples irritated the tissue over the years to cause a lump to form.
I love the gel implants.
Went to the breast surgeon in September for a 6 month followup. She was concerned with the lump and aspirated it. The sample was negative. I asked for an ultrasound. Although she said it may not show anything, she prescribed the test. It did not show the lump. I was told by the radiologist that if it was fat nicosis, somehow it would show up on the ultrasound. As mentioned before, it did not show up. Do I walk away and forget about this lump and retest in 6 months?
for rupture though .... With implants it does make mammograms less effective in discovering some abnormalities in the breast. I don't know if your other symptoms would be realated to the breast lump or not ... I wouldn't think so but as you said it's impossible to be definite about anything over the internet. Regards ....
that dismiss the pain with breast cancer shame on you. At age 32 they tried to dismiss my lump first because of my age and second because it was painful .... breast cancer doesn't hurt....WRONG!!!!!!! If I had listened to the Drs, I would not be here today. It was cancer. Now 13 years later on the other breast when I found a lump again that hurt they did not ignore me and guess what...... CANCER again. Now at age 45 I am a survivor again. These tumors were fast growing, triple neg.
I found a breast lump (semi squishy, size of grape, movable) in my right breast about a month ago. I have implants that have been in for 17 years (half silicone half saline) and I am 40. I also breastfeed my son who is 18 mths. I went to my doctor and he said it did not feel like any cancerous mass he has felt before, but made me appt for Mammogram (1st), U/S, CA125. The lump when pushed can be moved slightly. I also have slight pain in breast and underarm.
However, there is also a possibility that this represents a new breast mass unrelated to the implant removal or the capsule left
hello sir.
im 23 yrs old when i give birth to my only child and i was breastfeeding in 8-9 months,
in my three months of breast feeding i noticed a movable mass in the upper part of my left breast. i went to the doctor and he was so shock what he felt in my breast.he ask me if im breastfeeding and i said yes then he told me to go back to her if i stopped breastfeeding.but i dii not because i don"t feel anything in that time. but 2 yrs i feel slight pain in breast and underarm.
I'm very concerned... I noticed a couple years back a lump in my right armpit, I believe where the lymphnodes are. But, I felt maybe I was being too cautious considering my best friend who was only 33years old was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a survivor but is alway concerned with me. I have no health insurance anymore due to my husband losing his job. And recently I've been experiencing pain where the lump is and my nipple are scaling and peeling on that side.
t mention having implants. In my pathology report from my mastectomy one week ago, the following is listed in the diagnosis section, under the heading "Breast, left, completion mastectomy and axillary contents: "prior biopsy cavity with extensive fat necrosis and foreign body giant cell reaction." What does "foreign body giant cell reaction" mean? Thank you.
He informed me that they would immediately put in Silicone Breast Implants. I went along with it and it was the biggest mistake of my life.
Within two years I had two implants rupture in me, they didn't get all the silicone out from the first one and no one told me that the second one had ruptured until 9 years later when I found lumps on my lymph nodes. My health deteriorated terribly and I was sick all the time. (I am now on permanent Disability.
Do you know what your BIRAD score was on your mammogram? I'm so sorry you're having this worry. Please keep in mind that most biopsies come back benign. I was in your shoes in Dec 2007 so I totally understand. Please let us know what your findings are. And please try to relax. Best wishes.
The breast surgeon that I saw said a needle biopsy was not an option for me since the lump is small and I have breast implants. So, he is having me come back to see in in 6 weeks to see if it changes at all. I am not happy with the wait and see approach. I am worried sick about this lump, although the dr. doesn't seem too concerned. I don't know how they can tell me to 'not worry' if they can't tell me what it is!
I have saline breast implants over the muscle. They will be ten yrs old in march. over the past six months nearly every bone & joint in my body has started hurting. I'm having chest wall pain and if I don't wear a bra every second, it feels as if my left breast is actually pulling the muscles away from my rib cage. My left breast also feels bruised on top. I don't think it's changed size, and I don't feel a lump.
My doctor has ordered an ultrasound and MRI now; quite frankly, he seemed a little shocked. I have breast implants and was told two years ago that one of them had leaked. Could this be linked?
Thank you for your time.

Obviously a saline implant is unlikely to cause a lump as the saline works itself out through the body. This scenario would be more possible with silicone breast implants. There are some brands more associated with this as well. You should receive a full review of the lumps though which may include biopsy.

I am a 28 year old woman, I was on here in Late 2007 because I had found a breast lump in my left breast, it was round and large, but mushy and movable. I had an ultrasound and a biopsy and it turned out to be benign (spelling). This lump is still there, and does get tender close to my monthly cycle. But yesterday during my monthly self exam, and due to some breast tenderness I found a lump in the right breat, or rather the armpit area. This lump is very small, and very hard (like a bb).
I consulted two doctors and neither are too worried about it in my case. They are having me come in in three months for a recheck, probably to ease my mind since I stress about it.
However, I do worry and I hate feeling my pea sized lump that no one can seem to give me any information about, In your case, you're lucky that they will do a biopsy on you, my doctors won't because they said they may rupture my breast implants and feel my risk is low.
Good luck to you.
I have very little breast tissue and have heard that people with no breast tissue or little breast tissue will get better results if the implants are placed under the muscle. And I will most probably be getting implants within couple of months. I have already talked to a surgeon Dr. Robert Backstein of Steeles Avenue Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Toronto, but haven't confirmed of getting the surgery. I will be having a meeting with him next week.
