When the port (valve) of the Becker adjustable breast implant is removed, does it loose volume, does it leak?

Question

It was told to me that is normal to loose 25 to 50 cc in the removal.

Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C) · Answer

It should not.  If you are concerned, see your PS.  If you don't like what you hear, get a second opinion in person.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

No it should not leak or cause any loss of volume if done correctly if you are concerned please follow up with your surgeon

Roy Ng, FRCS(Plast) · Answer

Removing the port (valve) of a Becker implant, provided it is done correctly, should not lose any significant volume, either at the time of removal, or subsequently in the long term. It is not normal to lose as much as 25 to 50 cc.
