Hi, had my implants for 10 months now. HP 600cc silicone under the muscle. When I run on the treadmill after about 15 mins of running I start feeling a gurgling, swishing, sloshing feeling on my left breast. Like there's air bubbles and grinding. Not sure really how to explain it any better than that. Think of when you grabbed a stretch armstrong but rice krispies are in the gel inside lol. It goes away during the day and only happens when I'm running. Any ideas ?

Answer: Sloshing sound when running 10 months after surgery.... causes & possible solutions 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.
