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: Weird noise 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

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

Answer: Breast implants 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!

Answer: Recommendation 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.
