Why is my right breast squeaking or rubbing ( like 2 balloons rubbing) after 18 weeks? (photos)

S

I am 18 weeks post op 420 cc natrelle silicone. No issues with my left breast ( which was slightly larger) my right breast however has been making a "squeaking" or "rubbing" noise forweeks now.I had the muscle under that breast injected w a steroid to help relax it since it was fairly tight.That helped for about a week (sound went away) but now it is happening again.I still have some tenderness especially in the nipple on my right breast. What is this rubbing a result of and will it ever go away

Thank you for your question. The general rule of thumb is to refrain from heavy lifting for two weeks after a sub-muscular breast augmentation. The contraction of the muscle can cause the implant to shift. I recommend not lifting anything over 10lbs for two weeks post-op. I hope this helps,

Hello,Thank you for the question and photos. You appear to have a great result so far. The breasts are high and firm but contours will soften as they drop and fluff. You can expect them to Drop and Fluff over the next 2-4 months. All the best
