I am 9 days post op and I feel air in my breast cavity that moves when I move my arm up and down. Doesn't hurt, but I can feel and hear it. Can this air be aspirated (like liquid would be) or is the best route to wait for it to be reabsorbed? How long should this take? Does air retention pose harm? My Surgeon is aware and working with me - I am just antsy and searching for opinions. Thank you.
