While saline implant deflation is generally considered safe, there are some risks to consider. Firstly, there is a risk of infection, although it is rare. Secondly, bleeding and hematoma formation are possible, although these can be managed with proper surgical techniques. Thirdly, there is a risk of capsular contracture, which is the formation of excessive scar tissue around the implant. Fourthly, changes in breast shape and appearance may occur after deflation, as the natural breast tissue may have changed during the initial augmentation surgery. Finally, there is a small chance of implant rupture during the deflation process, which may require further surgery to remove or replace the implant. It is essential to discuss these risks and any concerns you may have with a qualified plastic surgeon to make an informed decision.
