I would like to get breast implant deflation to give me time to see how they will look before I have surgery. What is the cost and is that recommended?

Answer: Deflation The cost should be fairly low since a needle is inserted into your bags and the saline is removed. This will show you how much breast tissue you have. I do recommend having the empty bag removed since the corners may become irritating.

Answer: Implant deflation I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon or consult with other plastic surgeons in your community. Saline implants can be deflated. Silicone implants can not. I do not recommend deflating your implants if you want to have new implants placed. Deflated implants allow the implant capsule to gradually shrink. This will limit the ability to re-augment with the same size implant without a capsuleotomy. Different providers will have different views on this. I think having a few in person consultations would serve you well to get a better understanding of treatment options. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
