Are Rubbing "Squeaky" Noises 3 Weeks Post op Normal?

skwmv
I had my BA 17 days ago(sub-muscular silicone). Immediately after the surgery I noticed a lot of squeaking and popping, which I knew was normal and it went away. However, my right breast has begun making a fairly loud rubbing noise when I do my massages or when I move my arm in certain directions. It feels like the implant is rubbing on my chest wall when it moves. Is this normal this many days out? My friend jokes that I have a squeaky toy now - funny as long as it goes away! Thanks.
