Silicone Breast Implant Getting Smaller?

Unless you have lost weight, I would suspect a rupture of the implant and suggest you get an MRI to determine this.

All implants eventually fail when the shell weakens and they leak. While there is a gradual deflation with Saline breast implant, often there is NO volume change with silicone gel filled implants. The diagnosis is usually made with MRI imaging based on patients complaints of non-specific symptoms.

When women develop CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE, the scar which normally forms around ALL implants (and other foreign bodies) becomes thicker and begins to exert 360 degree pressure on the implant squeezing it in. This is often manifested as a smaller, rounder appearing breast on the affected side. You should see your Plastic surgeon to have it checked out.
