Bubbling sensation behind nipple area following Breast augmentation?

April 8, 2016
Asked By:Lilliana23 in Troy, MI

Recently had breast augmentation with 400cc silicone submuscular placement, inframmary incision; POD#6. No complaints until this morning when I began having intermittent "bubbling" sensation (feels similar to fasciculations) only in the left breast behind the nipple, slightly inferior. It doesn't feel like crepitus, which I did have previously, but was located bottom of the breast above the ribs and over the sternum. Is this normal? I drove yesterday, but am worried now I did too much.
