The squishing noise and swelling that you are describing 2 days post breast augmentation sounds normal. Good luck with recovery.
Yes, this can happen. If some air is trapped in the pocket where the implant is placed, it may gurgle or whistle with motion until it is all absorbed. This should resolve within 1-2 weeks.
Before the capsule has formed around the breast implant, the pocket in which the implant resides as fluid which the implant can shift as it moves around. This can generate some benign sounds that can be unnerving. Nothing to worry about.
Thankyou for your question. I have included some typical expectations of breastsurgery recovery and signs to watch for following breast augmentation:Stiffness, swellingand bruising in the chest region: These are normal experiences as the skin,muscles and tissue heal. Pain medication and muscle relaxants will help youcope with any discomfort. Consistent sharp pain should be reported to yourboard-certified surgeon.Hypersensitivity ofnipples or lack of sensitivity: This is normal and will gradually resolve overtime.A mild to severe itchyfeeling of the breasts is possible as healing progresses. An antihistamine likeBenadryl can help to alleviate severe, constant itchiness. If the skin becomesred and hot to the touch, contact your board-certified surgeonimmediately.Asymmetry, the breastslook different, or heal differently: Breasts may look or feel quite differentfrom one another in the days following surgery. This is normal. No two breastsin nature or following surgery are perfectly symmetrical.Discuss returning towork with your board-certified surgeon, in our office it is typically 3-5days post-surgery but you may not overexert yourself or do any heavy lifting.You may resumeexercise and your normal routine at six weeks unless your surgeon advisesotherwise.Be sure to follow up with your board-certified plastic surgeon regarding questions or concerns during your recovery.
What you are describing is quite commonly described after breast surgery. The sensation of air trapped in the tissues is also commonly described. However, any significant increase in swelling/size would be of concern. Best wishes.
are guaranteed to go away with time as the fluid and air is resorbed. Watch for marked changes in breast size as this is a more urgent issue.
At 2 days following surgery, a large number of my patients have that exact squishing sound you describe. There is some fluid and swelling still around the implant and in the tissues, and there is also some air left in the tissues that was introduced during surgery. All of these things will resolve on their own with time, and you shouldn't worry about them.
Lovesunandsky, The squishing noise and swelling is very normal post Breast Augmentation Surgery. You should expect the initial swelling to go down substantially sometime within the next 1- 2 weeks or so. You'll start feeling more like yourself as the implants settle in and that squeeky, squishy noise goes away.
Both are normal. When the incision is closed there is air trapped in the pocket, and it is resorbed over the course of a week or so, and that is the source of the strange sounds. Swelling is common. Not to worry. All the best.
