I had saline taken out of my breast implants via syringe at an in office appt. w/a plastic surgeon. I gained a lot of weight due to medication & my back & neck were suffering & i couldn't afford surgery. I just met with a plastic surgeon & during the exam she couldn't feel/find my breast implant shells. I had been able to feel the squishy shells on my own. However, since she mentioned it, I cannot find/feel them either. She is going to order ultrasound to locate. TERRIFIED!! Expert thoughts???
Answer: Implants The empty bags are still present behind your breasts, but may be wadded up. There is no reason to be terrified because your body will treat them the same whether they are filled or empty. The ultrasound will show where they are. Sometimes you can feel the points of the empty bags.

Answer: Saline Shell Deflation I wouldn't be overly concerns. The implant shell is likely still in the capsule. If it's deflated and you have adequate breast volume it may just be hard to feel. There's no way for it to migrate outside the capsule.

Answer: Breast implants I’m sure the shells are still in the pockets because the pocket tends to walk off the implant shell. Consider an MRI if you want confirmation

Answer: Deflated, silicon implant shell Never leave an empty silicon implant shell in position. This can cause other problems. Best to have them removed immediately. But ultrasound is advisable. Expect me to range from $5000-$10,000. Best to virtual consult with.
