Does implant deflation prior to removal allow for smaller incision? (Photo)

Asked By:Kcooters1 in 98012 - Bothell, WA

I have 11yr old under the muscle 390cc textured saline implants. I am planning on removal (without lift) in the next 6mo. I'm wondering if implant deflation a few weeks prior to removal would allow the surgeon to make a smaller incision (I would like to minimize the incision/scar as much as possible). Also, would the implant deflation assist in making the capsule shrink & possibly easier for the surgeon to remove? Thank you!
