I feel liquid and bubbles inside my right breast and I had my BA 5 months ago and my upper back and neck have hurt ever since. my surgeon says I should have an ultrasound to double check if I have liquid inside or not and he says if there is liquid it can be drained with a neddle and surgery is not needed. Is that safe? I'm extremely worried

Answer: Bubbles and fluid in pocket Your new onset pain is most likely not related at all to the bubbles and fluid collection if in fact they are present. More likely, your back is adjusting to the weight of your new implants, especially if you went large size. I agree with the ultrasound, and you should not worry about the implants if the aspiration is done skillfully. Just make sure whoever is tapping the fluid has a great reputation. Best of luck!

Answer: Fluid in breast If there is a pocket of fluid detected in the breast the surgeon can use an ultrasound guided technique to target the fluid pocket and drain it. There is a small risk of puncturing the implant during this process, but an experienced surgeon will be able to handle this procedure without incident. The first step though is determining if you do in fact have a pocket of fluid, which is why the ultrasound is needed.
