Is it safe for me to lie flat on saline over the muscle breast implants?

The surgeon should be position you with support around the breast so you are not lying directly on them during the surgery and you should do the same during the recovery. 11 year old 1500cc implants are at an increased risk of deflation. A BBL will increase that. I do not perform BBL for other reasons, but if you are concerned about rupture it is just another reason to avoid the surgery.

Hi,Your concerns about the safety of undergoing a BBL with large breast implants are understandable.
Factors to consider:1.Implant size and location:-Large Implants: With implants as large as 1500 cc placed over muscle, there is significant volume that can be compromised by external pressure.-Placement over the muscle: Over-the-muscle implants have less cushioning tissue compared to submuscular implants, potentially making them more susceptible to pressure when lying face down.2.Age of implants:-11 years: Implants typically have a lifespan of approximately 10-15 years. Over time, the implant coating may weaken, which may slightly increase the risk of rupture under pressure.3.Pressure during treatment:-Prolonged prone position: BBL requires you to lie on your stomach for an extended period of time. This can cause constant pressure on the implants.-Weight distribution: The weight of your body pressing on the implants can theoretically increase the risk of breakage or cause discomfort.Consult your plastic surgeon. Discuss your concerns with both your current plastic surgeon and the surgeon performing the BBL. They can assess the condition of your implants and advise on any specific risks. Your surgeon may recommend an MRI or ultrasound to assess the integrity of the implants before surgery.
