Brown flecks floating around in saline breast implant, what could it be?

January 13, 2016
Asked By:WantingHealth in Arizona, AZ

I had my saline smooth implants removed and got them back after the surgery. In one implant, there are brown flecks and brown small solid floaters in the saline, all floating around. Implant does not appear to have leaked, but is less buoyant than the other implant. What could this be?
