Will squeezing my breasts cause them to deflate?

Question

Hello, I'm 1 month post op from my breast surgery. However, I was curious?? Will sqeezing the breasts together cause the breast tissue to be softer and make them look as if they are deflated?? I'm not sure if it is the case in my situation but I've been trying to do that by applying force on them such as squeezing them in order to come closer and I've noticed as if they are softer now and as if my right breast is deflated? I have highprofile coehsive silicone gel implants, subglandular 325 cc

Hello aqua_88. Congratulations on your breast augmentation. So glad it's going well for you. I've never heard of casual or intimate breast implant squeezing to cause a rupture. However, serious breast pressure and trauma can rupture breast implants. This type of trauma would be noteworthy as it would likely damage other parts of the breasts. Best, Wishes, Dr. ALDO.

Thank you for the question.  Based on the details you have provided, the pressure you have applied would not cause the breast implants to deflate.  If you are concerned that the breast implant is deflated due to a rupture, it is best that you see your plastic surgeon for an examination.All the best,Dr. JSB

Short answer...no. Squeezing and moving your implants will not cause them to deflate. Do the exercises as your surgeon has instructed. Good luck and be well.

Thank you for your question.  Routine breast implant displacement exercises prescribed by your plastic surgeon will not cause cohesive gel implants to deflate.  The purpose of breast implant displacement exercises to soften the implant and make it more movable beneath the breast.  It sounds as though this beneficial effect is occurring.  However always check with your plastic surgeon.
