What is saline implant deflation?
Saline implant deflation refers to the loss of saline solution from a saline breast implant, causing it to deflate. This can occur due to various reasons such as implant rupture, damage, or leakage. If you notice a change in the size, shape, or feel of your breast, it is important to consult with your plastic surgeon to evaluate and address the potential cause of the deflation and discuss appropriate treatment options.
