Can Deflated Saline Implants Be Left Alone While I Finish Breastfeeding (Up to a Year)?
I have ten year old saline implants (went from a B to a full C- about 350cc, round, smooth, below the muscle) and after three pregnancies and lots of nursing- I just want them out! But I don't want to risk damaging any tissue at this point- would I be able to have the simple deflating procedure and then go back in to remove what's left after my son completes nursing- which could be up to a year from now. Thanks.

Deflating implants
I would not purposely deflate implants. I am not sure why you would need them removed while you are breast feeding?

A deflated implant can remain safely for any length of time.
A deflated implant poses no greater health problem then an inflated implant and can remain indefinitely in ones breast until the decision to remove it is made. In fact, it never really has to be removed.

Implant deflation: how long can it be left?
There is a small but possible risk of infection with the deflation procedure but if this is causing you significant discomfort than I would consider it an option. I assuming you are planning on replacing the implants because this would cause significant discomfort wtih expansion of the tissue.

Certainly could, but why
I am not quite sure why you would want to do this as you do risk infection from the deflation procedure. Unless they are causing you a problem I would leave them alone until you are finished breast feeding and then have them removed. The other problem is that after deflation they do shrink down by the capsule contracture and may be a little harder to find., The decision of course is your and if you decide to do this please make sure you use a board certified plastic surgeon...
