Can a Partially Deflated Implant Cause Pain?

A deflated breast implant, does not usually cause pain when fixed promptly. Silicone filled breast implants should be replaced promptly. When the breast implants are saline filled, there is not the same urgency; however, when left deflated for months, the capsule around the implant begins to shrink. The implant begins to fold, and can "poke" from the inside. The muscle can also cramp from the irritation. Discomfort can range from none, to mild cramping, to occasional sudden pain that resolves quickly. Once this begins, it is unlike to resolve without removal or replacement of the implant. Pain that is progresive, unrelenting and worsening, may be due to other problems, and should be investigated promptly.

Yes, women with failing saline implants sometimes complain of pain. It seems most of the time the burning in nature. I'm not sure the reason for it since saline in the implant is isotonic with the body

I am sorry to hear about the complications you have experienced. It is not unusual for patients who have had breast implant deflation to report increased pain;  this may be related to the “edges" or folds of the deflating breast implant irritating the surrounding tissue.  I do not think that you need to be very concerned at all;  keep your scheduled  appointment with your plastic surgeon.

 Best wishes.
