Air in submuscular pockets.

Kidinurse · 12-15-2008, 08:36 PM

Hi all,

I am Day #4 post-op, and I am noticing a lot of creaking air in the pockets. I went from 525cc saline unders to 800cc silicone gel unders. I did not have this problem my last breast augmentation....anyone else notice this? The nurse said that the air will "absorb", and being a nurse I believe this, but anyone have insight on how long it will take? Thank you very much in advance for your response.

i had some air pockets about 3 weeks post op....at least that's when my funky noises started, but they went away within 2 weeks, massaging helps...

is that what the sloshing sound could be is air and not fluid? I noticed my noice after taking my original wrapping off. i planned on calling the dr. today about it.

Mine started around week three and I still have a little bit from time to time. Especially when I bend over. From what I've been told it's completely normal. Not sure how long it will last, but I've heard it could be up to a few months.
