How is a saline implant deflation diagnosed?

he diagnosis of saline implant deflation can typically be made through a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging studies. If you notice a sudden change in the size, shape, or firmness of your breasts, it could indicate a deflation. During a physical examination, your surgeon will assess the integrity of the implant and look for signs of leakage or deflation. Additional imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis. If a saline implant deflation is confirmed, it is important to schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss your options for revision surgery or removal. Remember, early detection and prompt medical attention can help address any concerns and ensure the best possible outcome for you.
