 [ Symptoms ] i am in my late 50 is and have implants my right breast hurts when touched in one spot should i be worried  i have not had any injuries to my breast [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this it can not hurt to get an opinion about your breast pain from a plastic and reconstructive surgeon preferably the one who performed the original procedure while it is likely the cause of the pain is simply scar tissue that has developed over the years it could be something else and that is why getting an examination is the first step in figuring out what is causing your pain as you probably know all breast implants run the risk of becoming somewhat stiff and hard over the years as a result of encapsulation by fibrous tissue as time goes on this tissue can cause pain due to pulling on adjacent tissue or the breast implant itself and of course breast implants do not in any way protect against breast cancer any woman with cosmetic breast implants should receive the same routine mammograms as a woman with natural breasts if you can not see the surgeon who performed the original surgery you can always start by seeing your family doctor or primary care provider he or she will do an initial evaluation and get you off to see a specialist if needed wishing you well
