After breast reduction surgery is it normal to hear squishy sounds coming from your breast five days after surgery?

Question

David R. Alfonso, MD, FACS · Answer

Early on after breast reduction surgery there can be fluid collections in the breast that will go away as your body absorbs the extra fluid.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

It is normal to hear different sounds coming from the breasts after breast reduction. This is usually due to a space that was created when the tissue was removed. That space under the skin is filled with air and fluids and it could lead to these sounds being produced.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your breast reduction.  After surgery there are small pockets of air in the tissues of your breasts that may collect small amounts of fluid.  As you move these small pockets can create a variety of sounds that resolve spontaneously once your results mature.  Hang in there, all should improve with time.

Karol A. Gutowski, MD, FACS · Answer

In this case, it is better to tell your plastic surgeon so you can be evaluated properly in person for this.
