Lump / thickening on breast after mastectomy?

I had a double mastectomy in 2010 and all has been fine, had implants fitted late 2010.

 

I have just given birth to twins a week ago and obviously have not experienced any of the usual sore breasts you would normally get with pregnancy. But i have just realised that I have a significant thickening on my right breast not far from the scar line near my reconstrcted nipple. It is definately new and more noticeable when raising my arm. 

 

Is it possible to have it return like this? Could it be related to pregnancy hormones?

 

I had cancers in my left breast, but decided to have both removed. Would this potentially be a local reoccurence or other?
