Deflating a Breast Implant at Home

Deflating your breast implant at home yourself is a VERY BAD IDEA.  You will have high risk of infection which can be a very serious problem and end up costing you considerable in terms of medical costs and time off of work.  You really should see your surgeon - perhaps your original surgeon if they are still in practice and they may be able to help you out  Alternatively, as others have suggested, you can look for a plastic surgeon training program which may have discounted surgery for people in your situation.

 

Good Luck.

As my colleagues have mentioned, doing a deflation yourself has considerable risk to it.  Resident clinics can certainly help.  You will also void the warranty on the intentionally deflated side. 

An alternative for you is to use a "falsie" manufactured from a nylon stocking and rice.  This is simple to do and will provide symmetry of your chest under clothing. 

If your deflated shell is creating palpable pointy edges on your skin, you may want to also get your deflated implant removed.  This is a procedure that can be done under local so costs can be minimal.  Should you do this, that deflated implant will have to be sent back to the manufacturer for you to receive your new implant down the road. 

Of these choices, assuming your good side still looks good, filling your bra cup with rice in a stocking is the simplest choice and it doesn't require much money.  Make sure yoh have your deflation documented by someone so that you will qualify for your warranty implant in the future shoud you desire to pursue this again.
