There are generally two types of saline implant deflations: partial and complete. In a partial deflation, the implant loses some of its saline solution, causing a noticeable decrease in breast size and shape. While this can be concerning, it does not pose any immediate health risks. Complete deflation, on the other hand, occurs when the implant ruptures, causing the saline solution to leak out completely. This results in a significant reduction in breast size and shape, requiring surgical intervention to remove and replace the implant. It’s important to remember that saline implant deflations are rare occurrences, and modern implants are designed to minimize the risk. Regular self-examinations and follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon will help ensure the long-term success and safety of your breast augmentation.
