I am a stomach sleeper. My breast seem to be getting smaller over time by their look and bra size. Also over time, the rippling is becoming more noticeable. Could sleeping on my stomach cause a slow leak that only happens every night? Can a visit to a doctor determine this or would a surgery be needed? I had them done in 2000 and they are saline filled. Thank you for the info.
Answer: Implants and stomach sleepers. Thanks for your question.

Answer: See your surgeon In general, saline implant leaks can be detected quite quickly. It is not unheard of to have them deflate within 24 hours. Having said that however, yours may be compromised and be leaking slowly, as you suggested. It is important you see your surgeon to have your implants examined to ensure they are still in good shape.

Answer: Unlikely for sleeping position to deflate implants Saline breast implants can fail or deflate at any time following implantatoin. However, when it happens, it usually becomes apparent following a few days. You can have a partial deflation for a short while; however, it eventually fully deflates if you wait long enough.

Answer: If it were a saline leak, it would happen much faster It sounds like it is not a leak. However, without examining you it is hard to tell. If you implants are saline filled and had a lead, the size would decrease much faster that what you are describing. It is best to go back to your surgeon for a consultation.

Answer: Sleeping position should not affect implant If you have a slow leak, it would take some time and the implant would eventually get smaller. If one side is doing this and the other isnt it may be a leak. Unlikely that this is happening to both sides. You may have enlarging of the skin envelope and decrease in your body fat and breast tissue to explain the rippling.
