it almost feels as if the implant is moving down to settle in the pocket, is this normal and if so, how long should I expect this?
Answer: Is It Normal to Feel Vibrating, Gurgling, or Bubbling from my Breast After a Submuscular Breast Augmentation? 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.

Answer: Unusual Sensations Following Breast Augmentation - What to Expect It’s not unusual for patients to have unusual sensations in their breasts following breast augmentation surgery. In many cases, this is related to residual air and fluid that’s present within the breast implant pocket. Under these circumstances, movement of the implant within the pocket can cause the sensation of squeaking, gurgling, and bubbling. This sensation tends to improve as fluid and air resorb. In addition, formation of a capsule around the implant also helps to minimize this phenomena. In the majority of cases resolution occurs in one to two weeks. If you’re concerned about this phenomena, it’s important to have a discussion with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to alleviate your anxiety regarding this issue.

Answer: Unusual sounds from breast after implants
Air and fluid normally persist around the implants for up to two to three weeks which may create unusual sounds such as crackling, crunching, gurgling, squeaking, bubbling, vibrating and can even create the sensation of rice crispies under the skin.
