I've breast implants (12yrs) & notice lumps inner cleavage on 1 breast that disappear when i press firmly during self exam. rippling or cancer fear??

Probably not cancer: It is reassuring that the lumps disappear with compression. They could easily be droplets of ? silicone from an implant rupture. However, breast tissue does remain in the breast after implants are placed. 33 years of age would be very young to have breast cancer but we all know it does happen. See your doctor for evaluation; appropriate breast imaging will help identify the cause of the lumps.
