Weird Sensation and Squeaking Noise in Left Breast 3 Weeks Post Op?

I had silicone implants put in, submuscular 3 weeks ago. I notice my left breast is dropping and softening faster than my right, which I've heard is normal, but today I am noticing a weird squeak sound and feeling a strange almost buzzing sensation in my left breast when I move it. Is this normal? What is causing it and will it go away?

Implant Pocket Emitting Squeaky Noises Early After Breast Augmentation

Squeaky breasts

Although a squeaky breast may be disconcerting, it is something that can happen within the early post op period. What you are most likely hearing is air or fluid moving around within the space surrounding the implant.
