Any injury to a saline implant will cause it to deflate

Michael C. Edwards, 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.

It is not possible to decrease the volume of a saline implant regardless of how small the needle is. A change in volume will require surgery.

Take care
