When I touch the top part of my breast it almost feels like there is fluid moving around. I just want to make sure it's not the gel that has leaked. I might be freaking out over nothing
Answer: Breast augmentation post op, some advices: Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. In my practice, after performing a Breast Augmentation I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.I recommend you to talk with your plastic surgeon about what you are feelling and be evaluated, also follow his advices.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Very Normal and Common You may feel the sensation of fluid, swelling, squeaking, sloshing, and subcutaneous air (feels like Rice Krispies!) in the first 2-4 weeks after breast augmentation. Virtually all of this resolves.

Answer: Implants can feel funny after surgery Many patients hear or feel fluid around their implants early after surgery. In fact, a few teaspoons may be present for several weeks before being absorbed. Concerning fluid collections tend to show up as significant asymmetry or deformity in the shape of the breast.Since the gel tends to act more like a solid than a liquid, it is unlikely that the feeling is due to leaking gel. It's easy to freak yourself out after surgery. As long as you follow up with your doctor regularly and follow your restrictions, it is very unlikely that anything will go wrong.

Answer: Fluid and air are OK in the early stages of your healing In the early stages of your healing, your breasts will feel funny, you may think you feel fluid or air moving around. This will settle with time. If you develop a fluid collection after your breasts have fully healed you should let your surgeon know. A late fluid collection may need to be drained as it probably won't resolve on its own

Answer: Is it normal to feel fluid when touching the top part of your breast after a BA? Yes, early out of surgery is quite normal to "feel fluid" (and sometimes air pockets) to some degree. Of course, your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes an accurate assessment, advice, and/or meaningful reassurance. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
