I recently got a breast augmentation- about 7 weeks ago- and have a pea sized lump on each breast where my incisions were. Has anyone had this? Can anyone suggest a way to get rid of this?

pea size lump??? are you sure they're not keloids???
I've never heard of this before. Hopefully your plastic surgeon didn't use permanent suture string and leave a couple of 'knots' behind.
What are keloids??!!! Now I'm paranoid!! As to the answer to the other question. . . my doctor used dissolvable sutures that are supposed to dissolve and safely disappear in the body within a few months. . .`.
I really appreciate the responses- thanks! :0)
Call the doctor and make an appointment,my mother had this,but when she had her breast reduction,they said it was fluid and scar tissue,they had a massage therapist massage it for her,she still has hard areas though,so make an appointment.
keloids are raised scars.... the darker your skin the more chance you have of getting them after a wound has healed
ya I agree with Michele. Go to your doctor right away!! I didn't have this problem but I did have the same sutures as you. You don't want to wait too long to go in or convince your self it's nothing because I've seen some really bad pics of Aug's gone wrong!! hope every thing is ok with you AnnieR
A keloid is an overgrowth of connective tissue of the skin after trauma (breast implants). Sometimes you can reduce them by rubbing olive oil into them several times a day. But that's only if they are keloids.
