What happens if I have a breast implant deflation?
The incidence of breast implant deflation after saline breast augmentation is less than five percent over a ten-year period. Deflation may begin with softening of the implant with eventual partial or total loss of volume. This is not an emergency. Patients should notify my office and arrangements will be made promptly to replace the deflated implant. It is preferable to replace the implant within a couple weeks of deflation, as less surgical dissection is required. Often this can be done under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
