Adjustment of Saline Implants

C. Bob Basu, MD answers: Reduce saline breast implant volume without surgery?

Is it possible to reduce approximately 70 cc from saline breast implants without having surgery (for example, with a very small needle)? Would it continue to leak afterward? Thank you.

The only way to safely remove 70cc volume from your saline implants will require a quick surgical procedure. This can be completed with a local anesthetic and some form of sedation and most likely, your surgeon will utilize your original incision.
