Is it normal to hear a squeak when massaging ? (Photo)

Question

i am almost 8 weeks post op , at week 7 when I was masaging i started hearing a strange noise like the implant rubbing , I inmediatly called my surgeon and she said it may be the implant touching a muscle , I do not feel pain out of the normal or any discomfort, but i am concerned about it, and I want a second opinion. Because that was not hapening at first few weeks it's all new for me!

Hello,This can be common after breast augmentation. When all residual inflammation is finally gone and everything softens up that should go away.All the best

What you are experiencing is not uncommon and is likely the implant moving. It should subside in the weeks to follow once you have healed more. Regards,

This is not unusual  early after augmentation and I have seen it more commonly after patients have travelled and changed altitude. It is typically short lived and is not associated with and problems that I know of.

There is no reason to worry about your finding of squeaking sound. It is normal. It tends to go away with time.
