Can Saline Implants Have a Slow Leak and then Get Worse with Rough Handling?

July 9, 2012

I have had saline implants for 10yrs now and over the yrs my right one has become a bit smaller and is very suishy and ripply (my BF and I call it my shrivled up raisin). I have also been an exoctic dancer this whole time so they are constantly being handled. Two nights ago a customer was squeezing them so hard it hurt and I asked him to stop. Now, my right one is much more ripply and seems to have shrunk even more. Could this be related? I've also recently lost weight, could that be it?
