Air in the implants

Air in the implants can occur but usually is minimal, and as stated it should resorb over time......hang in there you should be fine.......

Fluid after surgery

It is quite common to feel sloshing during the early post-op period. Often there is fluid in the pocket at the end of surgery and the fluid needs to be absorbed.

Sound and bubbles after augmentation

Very early after surgery there may be excess air especially with saline. there also may be some fluid around the impant.. i would allow several weeks for this to settle down.

Breast Implants and Bubbles?

Thank you for the question. Depending on how far out of surgery you are is not uncommon to experience " bubbles”; sometimes patients report hearing “squeaking” as well. If these sensations do not resolve and/or you have real concerns follow up with your plastic surgeon for evaluation. Best wishes.
