One year ago I had reconstruction using a tap flap method (not taking the latissimus doors). I also had an elective mastectomy on my right breast and his was reconstructed at the same time using a stattus to hold the implant in place. Now I have found a lump on the 'healthy' breast removed and I think it might be from scar tissue (ie. where the stitch was, scar tissue forming around it) but I don't know and it is making me nervous. Does anyone have experience of this?
