It's not uncommon to experience changes after a mastectomy with implants. Here are some possibilities based on my knowledge base:

- Scar Tissue: After surgery, scar tissue can form and feel like a hard lump. This is a normal part of the healing process.
- Fluid Collection: Hematomas or seromas (fluid collections) can develop and feel like lumps. These may need to be drained by your surgeon.
- Fat Necrosis: If you had fat transfer, lumps could be due to fat necrosis, where the transferred fat cells die.

Always consult your doctor to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
