Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution, and if a rupture or leakage occurs, the saline is absorbed by the body, resulting in a noticeable change in breast size and shape. You may observe a decrease in volume and asymmetry between the affected and unaffected breast. It is important to remember that while visual detection is possible, not all cases present obvious signs immediately. Regular self-examinations and annual check-ups with your plastic surgeon are crucial to ensure the ongoing integrity of your implants. In the event of any concerns, it is best to consult with your surgeon promptly for a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance.
