Help I have a bubble in my implant

Deemontgomery1

I had reconstruction surgery following my chemo and bilateral mastectomy, 2 years ago. Last month I finally decided to have my pigmentation done, which I love by the way, however a few days following my first tattoo procedure, which was done by my plastic surgeon group, I noticed a bubble in my on boob. It reminds me of those little sir bubbles in plastic bull be wrap only crispier.

I called my plastic surgeon, who got me in immediately, and he said my implant was stuck. I've done the exercises they give you to do from day one, but he said I wasn't being forceful enough?? He moved the implant and the bubble was better for a few days, I continued to do the exercises, and it has returned.

Has anyone else experienced this??

I am really confused why this would happen 2 years post surgery.

not sure this is the same thing, but a friend of mine has a small bubble. If it were located in a different area, it would look like a nipple. You can push it in, but it pops back out. Her implants are saline and an air bubble got in during the fill. Hers didn't show up for awhile but now is permanent unless she gets them swapped..which she isn't interested in doing.

Is this similar to what you have? Could there be air in the implant? Of course if you have silicone that wouldn't be the case.

I have a bit air in the right side implant (silicone). I can't see it but every time we go to the mountains I can hear it clicking when I move. It puffs up like a potato chip bag. I get yearly MRIs and everything is fine.
