The squishing noise and swelling that you are describing 2 days post breast augmentation sounds normal. Good luck with recovery.
Yes, this can happen. If some air is trapped in the pocket where the implant is placed, it may gurgle or whistle with motion until it is all absorbed. This should resolve within 1-2 weeks.
Before the capsule has formed around the breast implant, the pocket in which the implant resides as fluid which the implant can shift as it moves around. This can generate some benign sounds that can be unnerving. Nothing to worry about.
Thankyou for your question. I have included some typical expectations of breastsurgery recovery and signs to watch for following breast augmentation:Stiffness, swellingand bruising in the chest region: These are normal experiences as the skin,muscles and tissue heal. Pain medication and muscle relaxants will help youcope with any discomfort. Consistent sharp pain should be reported to yourboard-certified surgeon.Hypersensitivity ofnipples or lack of sensitivity: This is normal and will gradually resolve overtime.A mild to severe itchyfeeling of the breasts is possible as healing progresses. An antihistamine likeBenadryl can help to alleviate severe, constant itchiness. If the skin becomesred and hot to the touch, contact your board-certified surgeonimmediately.Asymmetry, the breastslook different, or heal differently: Breasts may look or feel quite differentfrom one another in the days following surgery. This is normal. No two breastsin nature or following surgery are perfectly symmetrical.Discuss returning towork with your board-certified surgeon, in our office it is typically 3-5days post-surgery but you may not overexert yourself or do any heavy lifting.You may resumeexercise and your normal routine at six weeks unless your surgeon advisesotherwise.Be sure to follow up with your board-certified plastic surgeon regarding questions or concerns during your recovery.
What you are describing is quite commonly described after breast surgery. The sensation of air trapped in the tissues is also commonly described. However, any significant increase in swelling/size would be of concern. Best wishes.
