Weird feeling in breast when I run, what is it?

The weird noise that you are hearing is most probably air or fluid in the breast pocket. Which is pretty common immediately after surgery, but less so at 10 months. I would definitely advise you to schedule an appointment with your surgeon so that he or she can assess the situation in person. Best, Dr. Nazarian

I appreciate your question.



The noise you are hearing when you run in air/fluid in the breast implant pocket.  It is not uncommon to hear this sound in immediate post op days for a weeks.  Since you are 10 months post op now, I would recommend following up with your plastic surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



best of luck!

usually, immediately after breast augmentation for a few weeks there is some air and fluid in the pocket around the implant and this can give that rice crispy feel. However, after 10 months all of the air will be gone but there can still be some residual fluid especially with a larger implant. I would talk to your plastic surgeon about this, it is likely not a problem and may get better over the course of the next year. Running is great exercise keep it up and don't let this stop you.Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your question.the sloshing is fluid with in the implant pocket. if the breast are similar in size, just keep an eye on it. if there is worsening of the symptoms please seek and evaluation from your surgeon. Chronic fluid formation may be related to a rare condition called Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. Please do not get alarm. Please follow up with your surgeon. He could be able to best guide you in your care.best wishes.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.
It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.
Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
