Is it safe to aspirate my 23 year old 300cc saline implants in-office before deciding if mastopexy is necessary?

Asked By:madjviv in Texas, TX

50 yr old desiring smaller, more natural looking breasts without new implants. What happens to the capsule after aspiration - would this increase risk of fluid accumulation and infection? How long can aspirated implants remain before explant surgery? Can mastopexy be performed with explant if 3-6 mos has passed since aspiration giving us better indication of true breast condition?
