How Long Does a Popped Implant Take to Deflate?

January 9, 2011
Asked By:SuzieQKW in Key West, FL

One of my saline implants has deflated and It will be a few months before I can afford a revision and am very uncomfortable with the difference in size. Especially since I live in the Florida Keys and spend a lot of time in a swimsuit which is impossible to wear now. If I have the intact implant popped, how long will it take to deflate?
