2 months after BA, my right breast feels weird?! (photo)

Question

start from the 40th days when I squeeze my right boob feeling something weird ( difficult to explain the feeling as it feels like the implant touches the tissue with a little bubbling or vibrating feeling (no sound!! Just a sensation feeling inside) and it happens only in the right side Ps.(my right boob recovers faster than left and it hangs lower). till today it's been 2 months after BA. I don't feel pain neither any other uncomfortable feeling besides this weird sensation. Is it normal?

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and photographs.  Changes in sensation are quite common as healing progresses after breast augmentation.  The bubbling or vibrating feeling could simply be the movement of the implant but this is difficult to determine without an examination.  Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for evaluation.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell without an in-person assessment. You could be describing some fluid or air. Please consult with your plastic surgeon

Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photo.   This isn't unheard of after a breast augmentation, there can be some fluid that hasn't been reabsorbed by your lymph system yet, which can cause a bubbly feel due to the implant moving in the pocket .  It will go away and is harmless, however, if you need reassurance, I would return to my PS for check up.

Ralph R. Garramone, MD · Answer

It is possible after a breast augmentation that either irrigation fluid or possible air can be present in the implant pocket which could cause the sensation you describe.  It has usually resolved by this time but every case is different.  You should follow up with your surgeon if this persists.

Lisa L. Jewell, MD · Answer

Sometimes during breast augmentation fluid or air gets trapped inside the pocket where the implants is placed.  This should eventually resolve.  If it continues to bother you, follow up with your surgeon.
