saline implants

I"m 65 years of age and my saline implants are quite old, aside from obvious changes due to aging, last year my right implant showed a dent or wrinkle and they concluded I have a small leak. Why after a year has my breast not gotten any smaller in size, is it possibly something else? I would like to avoid surgery unless necessary but I'm worried. I'm unable to provide you a photo, thank you.

Typically if you don't have a fast deflation the leak is due to the fill valve starting to fail. The leaking may be intermittant and not occurring all the time which explains why it has not totally deflated.
You don't need to worry as there are no negative health effects from a leaky implant.
