I started as an A and got 450cc silicone in right and 500cc in left to even out some unevenness after breastfeeding. My left is much tighter and more swollen (expected) but when I move my left arm around it makes an audible creaking sound. My husband can hear it and says it sounds like gargling. Is this normal? I feel air bubbles underneath both breasts and when I gently press I feel then squish around, but this creaking sound started today (3.5 days post op).
