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 Taryn. 

    Totally understand your anxiety. Slightly different to you in that I had lumpectomy rather than mastectomy. Have a lump which I suspect is likely to be scar tissue but getting it checked out on 8th September.

    Good to get these things checked but keeping everything crossed for you xx
