This Is perfectly normal and will disappear in the next few weeks. It is from air and fluid (irrigation, local anesthetic, serum, etc) in the pocket which will be naturally absorbed over time.
Thanks for your question. Likely there is just a little air trapped in the pocket. Your body will absorb this. If it becomes more pronounced, you should contact your surgeon. Best of Luck!
Air bubbles are common as the skin probably has not sealed yet, hard to get synmastia under the muscle as there are still lots of attachments along the sternum, may take a few weeks for the skin to settle back down
It is not abnormal, and will go away in time. It is not an indicator of a developing symmastia. You should massage the skin over the sternum.... we suggest our patients massage the area for the first 48hr after the surgery if they experience such air bubbles.
It is not unusual to have crackling sound of your skin after breast augmentation. Small amounts of air get underneath the skin produce this sound. This movies all very quickly and it's not dangerous.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS,FACS
This is not uncommon after surgery and should resolve in a few days. If it doesn't and becomes worrisome, contact your surgeon.

It is not unusual to feel small pockets of air and or fluid in the space that has been created for your implants. There are small amounts the air they get trapped in the space where the implant is when it is placed into the body this is especially true of silicone implants. Generally speaking this air and fluid will resolve over a period of one to two weeks. I feel is important that you check with your plastic surgeon and let him know what you are experiencing as he may have further suggestions
Depending on your rate of recovery, you may find going to a wedding so soon after your surgery to be very uncomfortable and tiring. You will also have to limit your physical activity to avoid compromising your recovery. However, please ask your surgeon as they may have different advice.
It generally takes 4-6 months for patient to see their final result. During this healing phase there are often subtle asymmetries that resolve. You should continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon and express your concerns. Obvioulsy an in persono examination gives much...
I would not personally suggest using it as soon after surgery however after 10 days you could use a back massage. Personally I would suggest you contact her plastic surgeon regarding his recommendations best wishes!
