You mentioned that you could have the Saline breast implants deflated in situ and then determine how to proceed--removal alone or removal with breast lift. When this is done, is the saline released into the body or is a tube inserted to let the saline flow out of the body?
Answer: Saline Can be Drawn out In the Office The skin can be numbed and a nnedle and syringe is used to remove the fluid. In very thin individuals, the remaining implant may cause some minor shape irregularity but usually this is not a problem. My experience is that the breast looks a little more saggy right after this procedure than it will after the actual implant removal. Your skin will contract to some degree over a few days, which may make a lift unnecessary.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Simple office procedure Hi, Thank you for your question. The implant can be deflated in office using a needle and syringe under local anesthesia. You breasts will likely contract in the next few days so yes, sometimes a lift is required. Best regards, Dr. Speron

Answer: Delating saline implants Sometimes before implant exchange, the saline implants are deflated a week or so before surgery. This is usually done if you are downsizing your implants because it allows for some time for your skin to contract to a smaller size prior to putting in the smaller implants. The deflation is performed in the office using a needle and a syringe to pull out the saline. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Saline Implant Deflation It is a very simple painless procedure done in the office. The lateral area of your breast is injected with a numbing solution and after a minute a syringe with a needle is inserted and the saline is aspirated from the implant. This gives you and the surgeon a good way of assessing how much breast tissue you have and what things would look like once the implant is removed.

Answer: Deflation of saline implants All it takes to deflate an implant is a needle stick which is not unlike drawing your blood. The saline can aspirated (sucked out) or it can leak into the body where it will be rapidly absorbed.
