Breast Augmentation - 4 days Post Op. Feel implant moving!

What you are describing is quite commonly described after breast surgery.  The sensation of air trapped in the tissues is also commonly described. However, any significant increase in swelling/size would be of concern. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question.  You are very early in your post operative course.  The first three days after most operations are rough.  We instruct our patients to use ice and elevate their head of bed about 30 degrees.  We found this to help with swelling and discomfort.  Is is normal to hear squeaking after surgery as there is air and fluid in the pocket.   There may also be some movement of the implant early after surgery as well.  This should improve over time.  Each Board Certified Plastic Surgeon may have a different post operative program, so make sure you talk with them and share your concerns.

It’s not unusual for patients to have unusual
sensations in their breasts following breast augmentation surgery.In many cases, this is related to residual
air and fluid that’s present within the breast implant pocket.Under these circumstances, movement of the
implant within the pocket can cause the sensation of squeaking, gurgling and
bubbling.This
sensation tends to improve as fluid and air resorb.In addition, formation of a capsule around
the implant also helps to minimize this phenomena.In the majority of cases resolution occurs in
one to two weeks.If you’re concerned about this phenomena, it’s
important to have a discussion with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon should be able to alleviate your
anxiety regarding this issue.
