Is it normal to have bubbling noises within first week of submuscular silicone implants?

Cosmetic Complications: You may not be fully satisfied with the
appearance of your implants; implant size issues, prominent scarring,
asymmetric or undesired appearance or placement of  #implants or hardening may interfere with
patient satisfaction.  Asymmetry (unequal
breast size or shape) may occur.  The
implanted breast may  #sag or #droop
(ptosis) over time, much like a natural breast. 
Very rarely the implant may change position or break though the skin,
particularly if you have very thin breast tissue covering the implant. (This is
more common with saline implants). complications do occur even for the best of
surgeons and cannot be completely prevented. 
Make sure you are comfortable with the risks and complications of this
procedure and that all your questions are answered by our staff.

 

ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR PLASTIC
SURGEON IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT INFECTION, BLEEDING, SWELLING, FEVER,
EXCESSIVE BRUISING, OR ANY NEW AND SUDDEN CHANGES IN THE FEELING OR LOOK OF
YOUR BREASTS/IMPLANTS.

 Additionally, it is best to visit your surgeon if you have any of the following:

·        
Excessive bleeding (hematoma) and bruising

·        
Reduced sensation of #nipple

·        
Deflation/rupture

·        
Capsular contracture

·        
Wrinkling/rippling. Palpable and/or visible

·        
Firmness, and distorted appearance

·        
Interference with breast feeding

·        
Mammogram interference

·        
Cost for revision surgery if necessary

·        
Calcium deposits in the tissue around the implant

·        
Breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity

·        
Hypertrophic scarring

·        
Tissue loss

·        
Infection requiring antibiotics or implant removal

In addition, it would still be best to visit your surgeon regarding this issue. It is hard to tell what it may be, and an in-person visit will be best to have your surgeon help evaluate the healing process and make sure that everything is progressing as it should.

Yes! I do hear this common complaint from my patients as well. You're hearing air and fluid around the breast implant and this will resolve within a few more days. Congratulations and best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
