How long can I leave a deflated implant in and can the other one be intentionally deflated?

nicolema4713
One of my breast implants has deflated. I am still under the 10 years the warranty covers, however I am having the hardest time locating the information on my implants. My doctor no longer has my records and due to various moves I have lost the card that was given to me at time of implant. My question is, can I just leave the deflated implant in until I can financially afford to have them replaced which could be a year from now? Also, is there any other way to locate my implant information?
