I had a breast augmentation w/ gummy bear implants done a year ago & left breast has a squishy feeling like water or air is in it but it is the implant. Should I get this looked at or is it something I should go to the emergency room?
Answer: Left breast has squishy water feeling - should I get an x-ray for my breast? Any questions regarding the integrity of your implants should be addressed by your surgeon. He or she will generally be able to make much better diagnostic and treatment recommendations than your primary care or emergency room physician.

Answer: Seroma Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is very rare to have fluid or air in an operative site for this long. While it may not be dangerous, you should discuss it with your plastic surgeon who may want to obtain imaging studies. Fluid adjacent to a textured implant will warrant investigation. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Augmentation The new cohesive gel silicone implants are exemplary and are superior to saline implants as they maintain their integrity even when cut. This is why they are often referred to as "gummy bear" implants. I would recommend making an appointment with the board certified plastic surgeon that performed your surgery, as they are familiar with your particular anatomy and implant style. They will be able to determine if the integrity of the implant has been compromised. make medical recommendations and possibly file a warranty claim if the implant is defective. I sincerely hope this helps and you find the answer to your problem.
