I can hear my breast implants moving. Is this normal?

Asked By:sbgilmor

I have 550cc gel silicone implants that I've had for over a year. I can hear them moving around I think. It sounds like plastic and water and it happens when I make certain movements with my arms. Is it possible they have ribbed or been displaced? Or is this normal? How would I get it checked?
