I had the Sientra silicone implants 1 month ago and one of them just started to make a squeaking noise when I bend over. Any ideas why this may be happening?
Answer: Noises afterBreast Augmentation?
It is not uncommon for patients to report hearing noises after breast surgery. This is probably related to air or fluid around the breast implant. At one month post op the presence of air or fluid should be minimal to none.
Otherwise, you may be hearing the breast implant as it shifts ( as you change position) over your rib cage. Generally speaking, these types of concerns are not an issue in the long-term.
Of course, your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise and/or reassure you.
Best wishes.

Answer: Resolution Common In 1-2 Weeks 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, but rarely lasts for longer periods of time.If you’re concerned about this phenomena, it’s important that you have a discussion with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon should be able to alleviate your anxiety regarding this issue.

Answer: Sientra Breast Implants Hi Mortlyn,Keep your surgeon in the loop, but it is real normal to hear funny noises for a while after surgery on one or both sides. Dr. Pousti gives a great explanation below. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Answer: Squeaking Implants after Breast Augmentation
Implants can squeak due to the implant shell interacting with fluid in the pocket. This usually subsides but may persist for a few weeks.

Answer: Squeaky noise after breast augmentation Noises such as what you are hearing are not uncommon. They are not related to Sientra implants, nor to any specific brand. Usually all these shifts/noises disappear within three months. Best of luck.
