Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
It says you have dimpling under the breasts- does this mean both the sides?
You have noticed a small non-painful lump in one side where the dimple is> this needs to be investigated by FNAC, Ultrasonography and if required by excision biopsy. It is very important to diagnosed the lumps which are not painful.
You had swelling of both the breasts which has subsided now > This may be related to changing hormonal status so common at your age.
Your last mammogram was 18 months ago, anything can happen during 18 months, hence it is better to be careful and get a clinical evaluation, actual physical examination by a General Surgeon and necessary investigations to prove that there is no development of a cancer.
Largish lump in the breast seen at mammogram 18 months ago, it is difficult to understand the report of biopsy to be a muscle. May I please see the report?
If there was presence of anything, the mammogram would have definitely shown it- but it was done 18 months ago.
You have to be more worried if there is no pain....


It is better to get confirmed.

Thanks for your feedback.
Gaining weight can cause the dimpling, and can be taken as normal if it is equal on both sides ad the cooper's ligaments can cause such an appearance. They should be equal.
Well, the tests can be repeated as required, as having doubts is not good.
Yes, getting a copy with NHS is difficult. But if they have told that the lump is benign , nothing to worry about.
Please get the new lump and dimpling checked for clearing any doubts and avoidable anxiety.
