I am going to have my 13 year old saline breast implants removed.

I have been doing a lot of research and was wondering your opinion on having them deflated first and then surgery to remove 3-6 months later. I have seen varying opinions on this but have heard this will help the tissue shrink back easier. I am 45 years old no kids and I am 5"4 109 pounds. I was a full B cup before and am now a full C . I have implants that are 325c size. Are there any risks to having them drained at the doctors office? Thank you
