I started having squeaking/gurgling noise in my right breast about two weeks after surgery. I am now 5 weeks post op and I still hear and feel it very frequently. When it first started I could only hear squeaking when I did my breast massages. Now I can feel and hear it when I bend over forward and sometimes when I move my arm... I've been told it's air and fluid and it will work itself out but usually is already resolved by now.... should I be concerned about this?

Answer: Recovery after Breast Augmentation Dear katdmendes,Thank you for your question. You are still early in the healing process and it is possible to hear certain sounds (such as "rice crispy" sounds) after a breast augmentation. Usually this transition period does not last until the 5 week mark, and even though you are probably fine, I would recommend following up with your surgeon just to make sure everything looks right.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery katdmendes. It is not uncommon to experience noises and feelings that you are describing this early after breast augmentation surgery. It takes some 4 to 6 months for complete healing to occur and to allow your body to adapt to the implants. Check in with your plastic surgeon to stay on the safe side, but I doubt you have any thing to worry about. Good luck.
