Pre Operative Question Answer

Can a saline implant deflation cause breast implant illness (BII)?

There is ongoing research and discussion regarding breast implant illness (BII), which refers to a range of symptoms some patients have reported after breast implant surgery. While there have been anecdotal reports linking saline implant deflation to BII, the scientific evidence is limited, and further research is needed to establish a definitive connection between the two. It’s important for patients to consult with their plastic surgeon, discuss any concerns they may have, and make an informed decision based on their individual circumstances and medical history.
