My breast implant ruptured while breast feeding, is needle deflation possible for my other breast?

Thank you for sharing your question. Yes it is possible to deflate your other implant with a needle in your surgeon's office. No risk/harm to the baby while the shells are present. Hope this helps.

Yes, needle deflation can be performed in your board certified plastic surgeon's office. The remaining implant shells will not be toxic to the baby. When you are no longer lactating and your breasts have "dried up" (usually three to six months) after breastfeeding, have the implants replaced.

Yes, you can have the other implant deflated with a needle and continue breast feeding. Once you have finished breast feeding, then have them both removed and/or replaced.
