My breast implants are 24 years old. I know they are saline but that is all I can remember about the procedure. My left breast has deflated or ruptured. Anyway, it is half the size of the other. I want them out of my body. How long can I go before getting them removed without complication? Does every plastic surgeon do this kind of removal?
