Answer: Saline refill Yes, saline implants can be refilled or even overfilled by the plastic surgeons. We do this when patients lose weight and have rippling issues.

Answer: Refill Saline Implants Thank you for your question. You can technically add saline to a saline breast implant, however, this will not only void the implant warranty and you need to keep in mind that every time you go back in for surgery, you open yourself up to complications like capsular contracture especially when you are using the implant.I prefer to place new, sterile implants in to get the size you desire now.I hope this helps

Answer: Removal & Replacement of Breast Implants The decrease in your breast size is probably not related to your breast implants, but instead to loss of actual breast tissue. It’s unusual for leaking breast implants to occur bilaterally and they typically don’t deflate slowly. The solution to this problem is most likely removal of your current implants and replacement with larger implants. In most cases, adding volume to an existing implant is not considered a good idea for a variety of reasons. These implants have fill ranges and the amount added would probably not impact breast size enough to make a difference. It’s important to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will be able to help formulate a plan that will be appropriate for your problem.

Answer: Refilling saline breast implants to increase size.
Usually both implants don't deflate slowly. If you have a true chronic deflation, the fix for this is removal and replacement. Your loss of volume may be due more to your breast tissue thinning out and the implants settling. Refilling of implants is usually not done as most implants are filled to their capacity. Overfilling may create rippling. Best to talk with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Can I increase the size of my existing breast implants by adding saline to them?
All breast implant manufacturers have a optimal recommended range of breast implant fill. A breast implant can be filled more, or some saline can be removed as long as the final volume remains in this recommended range. otherwise, you can increase the risk of implant deflation, as well as altering the natural look and feel of the implant.
