Is this sloshing sound in my silicone implants normal so soon post op?

Asked By:nursemilli_xo in Kentucky, KY

I am 7 days post op. 495/525cc high profile silicone implants. As of yesterday I noticed my left breast making this awful "sloshing" noise. Every time I move my arm. I've read it's normal for a saline implant but not silicone gel so I'm concerned. The left breast is also larger and still having pain whereas my right I feel nothing at all. I'm not even aware it's there until I look at it or touch it. Should I be concerned?
