Deflating a Breast Implant at Home

Myrtle Beach6020
The left side of my breast implant has deflated since April 2010. I do not have funds to have my other breast removed at a doctors. I've checked into warranty and they will cover replacing the bad implant, but just the implant not the surgical cost. I live paycheck to paycheck now and have not been able to afford to even go to a doctor so they can at least deflat the other side. Would like to do this myself, however I want to do this without causing more damage, infection, etc.
