Can saline implants leak slowly over time?

October 29, 2013
Asked By:Kay0116 in Portland, OR

I have saline implants & over the past several months I have noticed my left breast becoming more ripply and the volume looks smaller than the right. My right breast is full & round and the left looks totally different. The top view of the left breast looks a little caved in. I knew ripples could occur with saline implants but for one breast to develop more ripples, change in volume, & look irregular in shape is concerning me. Is it a faulty valve and would only leak when there is pressure then?
