Breast Implant Removal: Q&A
Ask a Question
Can I Have Saline Implants Deflated and Left in if I Can't Afford Removal?
My saline implants are 225 and under the muscle. I had lost a lot of weight due to stress from divorce, and was painfully insecure. It is 9 years later, I have gained weight, married, and they are getting too firm. If I cannot afford a removal and lift, can I just have them deflated so that my breasts are not so artificially firm? I am scared to hug anyone. I also want recommendations for Houston surgeons that understand my desire to be natural again.

However, you would be better off to consider removing them at some point as the deflated implants can feel very uncomfortable. Consult with 3 - 4 surgeons to understand your options before you make a decision prematurely.

Do deflated implants need removal?
No, if you have the implants deflated they do not have to be removed-but they may feel uncomfortable, and explantation is a fairly quick, easy, and less costly procedure so why not just remove them?
