scar tissue

I had a bilateral ultrasound for a concern in my right breast a few years ago.  While the tech was doing the left breast, she asked me if I had ever had breast surgery on that breast.  I have never had breast surgery.  She said the ultrasound showed scar tissue.  How could that be as I have never had breast surgery?

I have the same thing, I am 25 years old, my former gyno felt a lump and ordered a bilateral ultrasound last year, nothing abnormal showed on my ultrasound.  This year I went to a new gynocologist who informed me that the lump was most likely from the weight of my breast pressing down, causing the tissue to stretch and scar over time.

Maybe, sometime in your past, you had an injury... like a hard blow to the breast.
And, it left a knot which, in a mammogram, might look like scar tissue build up.
Anyway, that's just my guess.
