I had the swooshing sound too.  When I would lift my arm up and then down it sounded like a water bed..lol.  It eventually went away.

Lisa,
I would love to see your pics if I could.  I had 400cc and that was all the doc said my frame could handle.  I was so tight I felt as it I would split open after but now that everything has loosened up I wish I could have had more.

It's usually from a bit of air in the pocket from the time of surgery, or sometimes even from bubbles inside the implant.  Your body will naturally absorb both after a few days or weeks.  The condition is harmless.

Similiarly, some patients will fell "rice krispies" under the chest skin after breast surgery, which is from small amounts of air.
