If I have capsular contractor, why is one suddenly squishy?

Hi Jasmino,

I understand your concern. However, it is difficult to provide you with an accurate answer to your question with online consult. It is best that you visit a board certified plastic surgeon, so you can be properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for the question.  More than likely you have experienced a partial deflation due to a leak that could be due to tear of the silicone shell of the saline implant or a defect of the valve which is allowing saline to leak.  The saline will not harm you and will be reabsorbed by your body.  If the saline continues to leak, you will notice that breast becoming smaller and more "squishy" than it is now.  I do not know the brand of your implants but there should be a lifetime warranty to cover rupture which will help with your cost of replacement.  I hope this helps and best of luck!

Thanks for your question. An Implant that is contracted is usually firm and hard. What you are describing sounds like a leaking saline implant. If you have saline and one is deflated or partially deflated you can ask your PS to deflate the other side until you are ready to have them both replaced.Best wishes.
