8 Years Post Op and Having Gurgling in Right Breast. Is This Normal?

Thank you for the question.

New onset “gurgling” 8 years after breast  augmentation is very unusual. My concern would be the possibility of leakage  of the implant. In person examination by a well experienced plastic surgeon will be helpful.

Best wishes.

Gurgling sound the first month after breast agumentation is very common.  However any sound after that is unusual and requires investigation.  If you had saline implants and there is implant deflation, the breast size and shape will change.  If the leak is slow, it may take a few months for the change.  If you have silicone implants, an MRI is the best method for implant deflation.

With the exception of a few  days after breast Augmenttion when some of the air left from the surgery is pushed around the implant. In a few days the air is absorbed and tag sounds stop. A new onset of sch sound should suggest implant deflation. A MRI would readily diagnose any breast or implant issues.
