My left breast is making a gurgling or bubbling type sound after breast reduction surgery. Should I be concerned?

Hi and thanks for your question. If you're only a short while from surgery the sound is likely to be simple inflammatory fluid which the body has not yet absorbed. If the breasts look similar I wouldn't be concerned. If you're more than a few weeks out from surgery then the collection is probably a seroma or at worst some fluid accumulation after fat breakdown. These may warrant drainage if causing discomfort, asymmetry, breast redness or anxiety. Your specialist plastic surgeon will advise you correctly. 

surgery is not common but could happen if you have fluid collections under your tissues.  Do you have drains in?  Do you have changes in your breast size?  Regardless, this is something you should follow-up with your surgeon.

This sound is probably associated with some fluid that has yet to be reabsorbed by the body. Give it time it should go away without any problem.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

If you have recently undergone breast reduction surgery, it is possible that there is fluid within your left breast. As your breast moves, the fluid and tissue within the breast may create the sounds that your are hearing. As the fluid absorbs, the unusual noise should resolve. Thanks for sharing your question. Best wishes.
