scar tissue

I had a bilateral ultrasound for a concern in my right breast a few years ago.  While the tech was doing the left breast, she asked me if I had ever had breast surgery on that breast.  I have never had breast surgery.  She said the ultrasound showed scar tissue.  How could that be as I have never had breast surgery?


This discussion is related to Breast cancer scar tissue?.

Maybe, sometime in your past, you had an injury... like a hard blow to the breast.
And, it left a knot which, in a mammogram, might look like scar tissue build up.
Anyway, that's just my guess.

I have the same thing, I am 25 years old, my former gyno felt a lump and ordered a bilateral ultrasound last year, nothing abnormal showed on my ultrasound.  This year I went to a new gynocologist who informed me that the lump was most likely from the weight of my breast pressing down, causing the tissue to stretch and scar over time.
