Small Seroma in Breast Implants from Exercising?

Id felt something moving in my breast implants. My surgeon examine me & could not feel any fluid but I was told friction from exercising could be causing small fluid around one of my breast implant and it would absorb on its own. How long should I wait before I should be concerned? Should I also avoid exercising to prevent it from being exacerbated? I'm 3.5 months post op with 350cc mid range silicone. Theyre soft and no swelling. I've started taking NSAIDs to try to help as well.

At this point, unless there is information that you have not provided in the question, I do not see need for concern or avoidance of exercise. Again, your plastic surgeon is in the best position to advise you; contained a follow-up... more
