Feels Like Air Bubbles Trapped in Chest After Breast Implants

Asked By:5555anon in UK

I am 4 weeks post op. 270 round cohesive gel, under muscle implants. A few days after surgery I noticed what felt like a trapped air bubble on the left of my left breast. It pushes in under the light pressure of a finger and then pops back out. I am now getting more at the bottom of the breast and one on the cleavage side too. Are they just air bubbles that will be absorbed by my body and if so how long will this take, or are they something I should worry about? Many thanks.
