Shiny skin or any itchy feeling: swelling can cause the breasts skin to appear shiny. As the healing process advances, you may also find a mild to severe itchy feeling of the breasts. An antihistamine like benadryl can help alleviate severe, constant itchiness. Asymmetry, the breasts look different, or heal differently: breasts may look or feel quite different from one another in the days following surgery. This is normal. Breast massage and time will produce breasts that are similar in shape, position, and size. A sloshing sound or sensation. This is not the result of your saline implant filler, but rather of air trapped in the implant pocket and fluid that may naturally accumulate. This is perfectly normal and will resolve within 2-4 weeks. :
