Causes of Swollen Lymph Nodes, Aching Years After Breast Augmentation Surgery?
I am 8 yrs post breast augmentation surgery with saline implants and have swollen lymph nodes axillary, achiness and soreness in my right breast. Dr says my implant is intact... What is causing this?
Swollen lymph nodes after saline breast augmentation
Thanks for your question. New masses in the axilla or breast are something that you should have checked out. There are many causes for lymph node swelling but one of the concerns is that this may represent breast cancer. I know that's a scary thing to hear and it may be nothing but it absolutely shoud be checked. Make an appointment today!
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States, with over 300,000 procedures annually. Modern breast implants are available in saline and silicone gel formulations, in round and anatomic (teardrop) shapes. Implant placement can be subglandular (over the muscle) or submuscular (partially or fully under the pectoralis muscle).
When evaluating any cosmetic procedure, choosing a surgeon who operates in an accredited surgical facility is one of the most important safety decisions a patient can make.
