it almost feels as if the implant is moving down to settle in the pocket, is this normal and if so, how long should I expect this?
Answer: Is It Normal to Feel Vibrating, Gurgling, or Bubbling from my Breast After a Submuscular Breast Augmentation? 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.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Bubbling Noise after Breast Augmentation When a patient experiences sounds from the breasts, often it is early in the recovery period from breast augmentation surgery. This is normal and is a reflection of some of the irrigation fluid that has remained in the breast pocket. Over a short time this irrigation fluid becomes absorbed, and the sounds go away. Your situation is different in that the timing is 13 months post-op. Fluid in the breast pocket is still likely the reason for these sounds. However, newly accumulated fluid in a breast pocket over a year after surgery is called a delayed seroma and should be investigated. A breast ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis of seroma. Delayed seromas are associated in the majority of cases with having textured gel implants. Delayed seromas can also be associated with a rare implant-associated cancer called anaplastic large cell lymphoma. I would suggest following-up with your original plastic surgeon so that he/she can evaluate you for these new symptoms.

Answer: Unusual Sensations Following Breast Augmentation - What to Expect It’s not unusual for patients to have unusual sensations in their breasts following breast augmentation surgery. In many cases, this is related to residual air and fluid that’s present within the breast implant pocket. Under these circumstances, movement of the implant within the pocket can cause the sensation of squeaking, gurgling, and bubbling. This sensation tends to improve as fluid and air resorb. In addition, formation of a capsule around the implant also helps to minimize this phenomena. In the majority of cases resolution occurs in one to two weeks. If you’re concerned about this phenomena, it’s important to have a discussion with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to alleviate your anxiety regarding this issue.
