Are Air Bubbles in Implant Normal?

User Avatar
Caetlyn
I have silicone implants (under the muscle) and as I dont have much breast tissue and have gone to 565ccs I am experiencing more rippling and what seems to be an air bubble on the top of my left breast. I am not worried about the rippling as ive had other implants before, this is my second time. What is concerning me is the air bubble. I can push it in and out and it feels crinkley and crispy. Is this normal? Will it go away? I had the second surgery (to increase size) 4 weeks ago.
