Lump 2 months after mastectomy with implant reconstruction

I'm writing on here to see if anyone has experienced the same thing as I have? I had my double mastectomy just over 2 months ago and today have noticed a small hard lump near the scar on top of the implant. I have my follow up appointment on the 13th Sept but will call to try get one in sooner hopefully.

I just wondered if this could be scar tissue? My anxiety is through the roof. Any similar experiences would be so useful.

Thank you.

    Hi 

    I had a mastectomy with no reconstruction and found a hard lump just above the scar line, probably around the same time a couple of months after the op.I was worried as well but the oncologist felt and said he thought it probably was scar tissue and sent me for an ultrasound.That confirmed it was scar tissue.

    I highly suspect yours is too but you're doing the right thing getting it checked asap.

    Good luck x
