I am 5 days post op from my BA. I have 520cc silicone implants. Every time I press on my chest I feel something squish. It doesn’t feel like regular fat either. It is in the center of my chest above my implant. I know I overdid it today by driving and even playing around with my husband a little (light pushing around and wrestling a bit). Is it possible I ruptured an implant??? When I press on my breast, my implant seems to still be solid and there is no visible misshaping.

Answer: #plasticsurgery #breastimplants #augmentation Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery. Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside. At our office we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service. Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon. He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best. Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS

Answer: Squishing feeling More than likely since you are fresh post-op, it is likely swelling. If you are not sure, then you should see your surgeon.
