PAIN AFTER 9 MONTHS OF BREAST IMPLANTS

I HAD MY SURGERY A YEAR AGO, BUT AFTER 9 MONTHS OF THE SURGERY I FEEL PAIN IN  MY RIGHT BREAST EVERY DAY.   I FEEL A BUMP CLOSE TO THE NIPPLE.  I HAD A MAMMOGRAN DONE.  THE RESULT WAS A  MASS.  AFTER THIS FINDINGS  I  WHEN FOR AN ULTRASOUND AND THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE.  IS THIS NORMAL?

If you have saline implants, the bump may be related to the ability to feel the filling valve of the saline implant.  Have your surgeon examine you to confirm this.

Thank you Dr for your answer.  My Dr said it was the valve of the implant, but now the pain is more often and my whole breast is getting hard.  The filling of the other breast is soft and it doesn't hurt.   Dr. I would like  to know if a saline implant can change from soft to hard and what causes the pain.  Is this reason for removal?    Thank you
