Lump After Breast Augmentation with Saline Implants
I had saline breast implants put in about 9 months ago. There is a lump on my left breast that feels like a water bubble. Is this normal? What could this be?
Masses post-op
New lumps after breast augmentation must be investigated and ruled out for malignancy. Most of these masses wind up being benign but they should be investigated. Steps to figure out the nature of the lesion could be as benign as an ultrasound. The mass may represent a resolving hematoma or, in rarer circumstances, an isolated seroma - however no breast mass should ever be ignored. See you plastic surgeon soon. I hope this helps.
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).
Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ensures your surgeon has met the highest professional standards.
