Sloshing
When Your Implants Make Noise
Because saline has the consistency of water, it may slosh when you move. If so, sloshing is usually only perceived by the woman with the implants. It might be loud or distracting to the woman, but others will not usually hear it. Silicone, because it is more viscous, does not slosh.
Regardless of whether a woman chooses silicone or saline, she will likely have temporary sloshing within the first few weeks of surgery, but the reason for this is different. Following surgery, as a response to healing, the human body usually fills the space around the implant with clear liquid called serous fluid that may slosh. As the body heals, it resorbs the serous fluid, and in the process, sloshing resolves.
