I had my first BA 2 years ago, and the results were 100% perfection. One year post-op, I formed CC in my right breast. I had a capsulectomy on the one, and I have not been happy with the results since. I am now 1 year post-op after the capsulectomy, and I believe this is the final result. The revised breast is a solid inch lower than the other, much larger, and I have major rippling...more like dents. I am devastated, and I wonder why my surgeon didn't fix this the first time. What can be done?

The short answer is: YES, it is safe to travel. Deflated saline implants post minimal risk long term, whereas leaking silicone implants at some point do require removal. Contact a local plastic surgeon to review options with you. Best of Luck and Bon Voyage !
