Is there a place on a saline implant that can withstand a hypodermic needle poke to drain some out? (Photo)

Qui Quo
Due to poverty reasons since my breast implants in 1998, I want to fix the problem myself of an overfilled left implant that has never matched the perfectly filled right one. I want to suction out some fluid from the larger breast with a hypodermic needle until it matches the other breast in size. Can it withstand the poke and not rupture or fully leak out to flatness, basically, do they seal up again aftee a needle poke? I'm serious.
