Can saline breast implants be deflated when pregnant?

Hello @BananaJam12 thank you for your question. Surgery should not be performed during pregnancy if it is not urgently needed. If the implants were removed, the lining of the implants would remain within the body and the breast would lose its shape, in the event that they were removed. It is preferable to wait until the breast implants can be removed safely. At this time you should avoid the use of anesthetics if it is not necessary or any element that may affect the baby. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Yes you can have saline implants deflated while you are pregnant. This can be done in the office with no downtime. You can then return to have the shells removed when you have had the baby and/or are finished breastfeeding.

Dear BananaJam12,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to remove implants under local anesthesia. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
