Gurgling swooshing sound when I lift arm up and down. Any suggestions?

Question

So I had BA 6 days ago and I have just started to have a weird gurgling/ swooshing sound when I lift my arm up and down. Kind of sounds like a frog croaking. Is this normal and if so when does it go away? Or is this the sound of my saline implant because if so I am going to have to cut these things out myself! I hate frogs and their croaking!! Lol!

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and I am sorry that these sounds have caused you concern.  Between the pocket created to place your implant into, the saline in the implant, and the natural fluid that your body is producing to help heal after surgery it is normal to have some temporary sounds develop.  As your healing progresses these sounds will diminish and eventually fully resolve. Hang in there!

it is very normal to her some of these noises after augmentation. they will go away with time   relax..

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You are early post-op and gurgling noises may be related to fluid or movement.  This often improves with time.

Geez why have you NT called your chosen operative surgeon with this postop common issue fir a fun explanation? It is a very common early post issue BTW. Give him/her a call TODAY.

Stanley P. Gulin, MD (retired) · Answer

It is possible that you are hearing fluid around the implant.  I would think the best thing to do is to call your surgeon who performed your breast augmentation. Good luck to you.
