Breast Implant Removal Without the Outrageous Cost?

Good day! I believe it will be too risky for you to do the deflation yourself without the right knowledge and equipment of a licensed medical professional. Also, keeping a deflated implant does not cause serious illness aside from asymmetry, it may cause discomfort in the long run. Breast implant removal average cost starts around $4,500 but the most important part of your surgery is your doctor's experience. The cost varies depending on your area, facility, and years of experience of your surgeon. It is best to have an in-person examination so that costs will be customized according to your needs. You may also ask the manufacturer of your implant if explantation is covered in their warranty or insurance that you paid when you got them. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Costs for breast implant removal will certainly vary depending on your geographic location. Things to factor in for the procedure standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, other fees (e.g., fat grafting, breast lift, capsule removal, surgical garment, implant replacement, etc.).  A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you in determining which procedure(s) would be the right one for you. Cost also depends on the complexity of your case, presence of rupture, and how much work would need to be done to achieve an aesthetically-pleasing result for you.  Puncture of your implant to rupture it and leaving itin vivo is not recommended.  Best wishes!

I agree that you SHOULD NOT deflate the implant yourself.  Ask your surgeon to check into the stipend from the implant company that is used to go back to the operating room (usually $1200 and sometimes $2400).  If you are not eligible for the stipend than discuss having this performed under local anesthesia with your surgeon.  If you try to deflate your implant with a needle, you can cause MORE PROBLEMS for yourself.
