Is it normal to hear sloshing sounds after breast augmentation?

June 3, 2011
Asked By:cupcakes20 in KY

I had a breast augmentation done last Friday (exactly one week ago), and haven't had any complications. I had an amazing doctor! I'm been so worried that something is going to happen to them, so I just had to ask this question. I know it's normal to hear "sloshing" type sounds, but what about sucking sounds? Under my right armpit by the side of my breast, when I lift and lower my arm I get a sucking sound. It even feels like something is sucking. WHAT is this?!
