Need to see her: Doctor(s) as soon as she can. Any new physical finding or symptom needs to be evaluated by a physician, especially given her history. It may be nothing, but it should be investigated thoroughly. Good luck!

This needs to be: Checked to make sure it isn't a cancer recurrence, or an implant problem..

Needs to be seen: Your mother in law needs an evaluation. While most causes are benign, this warrants further work up. It could be a simple folding of the implant or scar tissue but let a professional help her with determining that.
