Bubble sensation in breast — sensation when I bend

Question

I recently posted a question asking about feeling a bubble-like feeing when I bend down. I believe I worded it incorrectly. I also am not sure how long ago I had implants...between six and eight years ago. My question is that when I bend over, I have a sensation in my breast that is like a bubble feeling. It is not by my hand; it's not tactile. It's a sensation within. The bone under the breast hurts as well. Is there a potential problem with the breast or could it be normal?

Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is impossible to advise.  A problem with the implant may not be able to be evaluated by exam alone and some radiographic testing may be required.  Good Luck.

Thanks for your question! I'd like to know whether or not you have saline implants: I sometimes hear of this sensation in my practice with women who have saline implants. I'd recommend some imaging, although it's probably not a serious problem (however, I'm not sure that it'll necessarily go away either). Best of luck to you!

I'll weigh in.With this change, you should visit with your surgeon.  He may decide on some tests, or an exam may be all that is in order.  Things change, and when they do, they should be checked out.sek

Unfortunately this is one of those questions that can't be effectively answered online.  You need to have a plastic surgeon examine you to provide the proper guidance.

It is probably worth visiting with a plastic surgeon for an in office examination to evaluate this issue.
All the best.

Since you are about 6-8 years post Breast Augmentation, it sounds as if what you are experience should be examined to see if this is "normal" or if it indicates some sort of problem. I would recommend you schedule a visit with your physician to take a look at what is happening.
