Feeling a “pop” like sensation while massaging 3 weeks post breast augmentation- is this normal? (Photo)

Question

I had my ba over three weeks ago (24 days to be exact). I feel great, and I’m healing nicely. I do massages twice a day, applying more pressure to my left since my muscle was a bit higher and harder up top due to a different implant to even out my breasts. While doing this before, I felt a “pop” sensation and a slight pain that went away pretty fast. Is this normal? I’m hoping it is because I feel fine, but I did panic a bit. I had silicone implants put In under the muscle. Thanks!

Thanks so much for reaching out. It is normal to have any different sensations and even gurgling sounds coming from your breast pocket after breast augmentation. Make sure you’re following up closely with your plastic surgeon to be sure that everything is as expected.I hope this helps :-)

It would be best to consult directly with your surgeon, as he/she knows your condition best. It is not uncommon to feel some sensations post-op until you are fully healed. Follow your surgeon's instructions closely to prevent complications.

Thanks for your concerns and the photo.It is normal for patients to feel the sensation of pressure, to feel that they stick, some bubbles, all this is part of breast augmentation surgery for a while, you can feel calm.It's good that I keep you in touch with your PS. I hope my answer will be very helpful. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

It is hard to say from just a description. You are best to be seen by your surgeon in person to be properly evaluated.

Congratulations on your breast augmentation.  Your result looks excellent.  I do not think the small pop that you felt created a serious problem.  However it is always better to contact her plastic surgeon for an examination to make certain that all is well and not to rely on Internet advice.
