Hi There - I'm just wondering if it's common to feel my implant move? Sometimes when I raise my arm(s) or make other movements, I feel the implant(s) move also - sometimes I think I can even hear it! Is this okay? This occurs mainly on the left side . . . Pre-op- 36A; 400cc sientra gel silicone, under the muscle. Thanks in advance for any replies. . . . so many new odd things to worry about since surgery!!
Answer: 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.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Augmentation - 4 days Post Op. Feel implant moving! 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.

Answer: Implant Movement and Sounds after Breast Augmentation Yes, this is a common feeling and not worrisome. With smooth implants the pocket is made to allow for a little movement. The "sounds" you may be hearing has to do with transient fluid and air in the pocket that will be absorbed. All normal occurences.

Answer: Sientra Implants Hi Singbabysing,Yes this all can be totally normal, but you need to keep your surgeon in the loop. You didn't mention if your Sientra implants were smooth or textured. So the smooth will move and squeak and bubble for a short while, all implants can that are smooth. But you want the textured to be still, so call the office and check it out. All the best in your healing! "Dr. Joe"
