Small bump in clevage area on left breast feels like fluid or air when pushed, should I go to my doctor?

I googled this and a lot of forums said it was just an air bubble or pocket that will absorb eventually. I'm 12 days post op just asking if it's a normal thing or should I go to my doctor? When I push it it feels like something squish but nothing major.

As long as the surgical facility is accredited and well-maintained, then it should be okay to have your surgery performed there.

You should show it to your plastic surgeon.  I have seen nipple discharge temporarily after breast augmentation that subsides as the swelling goes down.  Your plastic surgeon might want to put you on antibiotics to be on the cautious side even though there is no redness at the site.

The diameter of the implant should fit your chest wall.  If the high profile is too narrow, the result could look like round balls sitting on a wide chest and in that scenario a moderate or moderate profile plus may be used.  The high profile may give more upper pole fullness, which...

At size 32 B each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 500 cc implants will take you up 5 cup sizes to size G. 535 cc implants will not fit retro-pectoral, will extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring revision. 22% of women who undergo breast augmentation alone require r...
