Hi.  That cyst can still be aspirated even if you have implants.  The implants are usually inserted underneath the entire breast tissue, so they shouldn't interfere with the procedure at all.  However, I think you should have that cyst examined by a doctor first before deciding on having aspiration done.  The reason why that cyst may be painful may be because it's infected.  If this is the case, a course of antibiotics will relieve the pain and swelling, and there would not be any need to have aspiration done.
