4 weeks post op, I have weird feeling when massaging breasts. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

Hi there, I was told to massage my breasts in wards and downwards for 5 minutes each day ! I am 4 weeks post op, recently when I have been doing the massaging in wards and I can feel a squishy/clicking sound! Is this normal ? Only in the right breast !

Jason Altman, MD · Answer

Strange sounds and sensations are very common after Breast Augmentation.  These will usually improve as you continue to heal and the swelling subsides.  If you are having any pain or are concerned about what you feel or hear, I would visit your surgeon so he can examine you.

Thanks for your inquiry.  It is not uncommon to feel squishy or hear sounds when you massage early in your recovery.  If you have any concerns please call your plastic surgeon.

Sounds like these are ALL normal occurrences. Best to see your operative chosen surgeon in person though...

Francisco Canales, MD · Answer

It is not uncommon to hear "weird" sounds coming from the implants early on. Some people refer to the sound as squishy, frog-like, burp-like, and many others. If you are concerned, make sure to discuss with your plastic surgeon in person. Best wishes.

It is not unusual to experience strange sounds or sensations following breast augmentation, particularly following augmentation using saline filled prostheses.  These usually subside within several weeks following surgery.  Do not hesitate to visit your surgeon for an examination.
