Breast issues?

It is hard to determine what your problem is without a proper evaluation. You possibly can have a capsular contracture.

Bubbly Sensation after Breast Augmentation and Lift

I must say it is a bit difficult to suggest a diagnosis from your description. If you did have a capsular contracture before, recurrence is a possibility. Without an exam, I cannot make any further recommendations other than you need to be examined. If you do not want to see your surgeon, then seek out another surgeon. However, if you had capsular contracture and the problem was improved by capsulectomy or similarly effective procedure, the doctor may have done... more

Concerns after Breast Augmentation/Lifting Surgery?

I I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction after breast surgery. Frankly, I do not know what may be causing the “strange bubbly sensations” that you are experiencing. For accurate advice, I would suggest that you follow-up with your plastic surgeon and/or seek additional in-person consultation with board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Best wishes.

Strangely I seem to be getting larger I went from a 38D to a 38DDD in approx. a week. I feel a cold sensation in my entire bra area and still have the fluid feeling. I seem to be having other problems such as dizziness, confusion, hot & cold chills, facial & breast tingling. My lab test are normal & my ps things I am crazy, my family dr things I have some nerve things going on but I have the strange feeling thisis all breast related.

3weeks post op my left breast separated from the bottom. After a year of telling my PS something was wrong he said capsule contracture. He did surgery at that time (2011)& even removed some saline as I was larger than pre surgery. The right beast has a tingle bubbly feeling like fluid moving when I bend over etc. I feel it down my side & in my entire bra area. I have hit spots & cold spots the breast does not appear smaller & has not changed in shape. Since original surgery right breast has been lower & to the side more. Is there something I can do as I have not been at all happy since my 1st surgery & feel as if the PS is more interested in $ & # of patients in fact he can't see me for 3 weeks. This entire thing has been the worst decision of my life. I researched all PS in my area & he was supposedly the best... do you know of a GOOD PS in the Va. Beach Va. area?
