Crunchy feeling after breast aug. Is it normal? (Photo)

Yu should not be performing stretching exercises.  There is air in  the space by definition. If you had crunchy "crepitus" and had not had surgery it could indicate something different.  If you feel well, you should be seeing the surgeon in less than 13 hours ask them then.

It's always best to inquire with your surgeon about any questions regarding your care. In my experience, when a patient calls 12 hours after surgery with your symptoms, it is totally normal. This represents air and fluid under the skin that usually gets completely absorbed within a week or so. You're right. The crunchy sensation does begin with a "c." It's called crepitus. For more information on this and similar
topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On
Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Ladyluck:  This is not an uncommon finding and more than likely is the result of a little air trapped within the surgical field.  This is called crepitus, as you discovered during your internet search.  It is not harmful and will resorb with time.  There are a few other things it could potentially be though so I would definitely follow up with you PS, especially if you have a sharp pain on one side of your chest or difficulty breathing.Best of luck to you!G.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery! I would suggest a phone call to your surgeons office  to discuss this and any concerns you may have. Best of luck.

Hello Thank you for your question. It would be best to have an in person exam with your board certified plastic surgeon. This will allow the MD to hear the sound that you state your breasts are making. Best regards
