my lymphs were huge and I had a biopsy which showed silicone had leaked. This may be the case even if you haver saline ones, as the saline ones are covered in silicone- it's a silicone shell that holds the saline. Ask for this test- a lymph node biopsy, it takes like ten mins and is n't painful. I got mine removed after the biopsy- the implants. Boobs still quite big as the implants stretched them. Perhaps you should consider removiong them?
