Deflation Breast implants made of saline can sometimes leak due to weakness in the valve or patch area, or due to them being under filled. In a matter of a few days, the breasts can shrink back to the size they were before the surgery took place. In this case, a second surgery will have to take place. The risk of an implant deflating is estimated to be four percent in the first year after surgery and one percent every year after that. The design of saline implants is becoming more advanced all of the time. It has been estimated that the latest saline implants leak in only one to five percent of cases.

The conditions discussed above occur in a very small percentage of breast surgery patients. Speaking candidly about your medical history, along with choosing the best Honolulu plastic surgeon, will reduce your risks significantly – allowing you to fully enjoy your new appearance.
