Questions & Answers

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.

Yes it could be something else, however I echo the opinion of the others. This is a question that requires an examination by a board certified Plastic Surgeon. Saline implant can minimally diminish in size with time. Dents and wrinkles may be visible with time due to weight loss leading to volume loss in the breast. Just go see another physician for another opinion.
