Can Air Get Caught in the Pocket After Removing Breast Implants?

September 23, 2012
Asked By:shootingstar

I've just had my implants removed from under the muscle due to one deflating. Last night while putting on my compression garment I heard a noise in my chest and felt something at the same time. It's not painful, just strange. If it is air, what happens then?
