Is it Easy to Add More Saline to the Implants?
I have had my saline implants for nearly 2 weeks. I feel like one implant is bigger and fuller than the other . Is it easy for my doctor to go back in and add more saline? I wasn't impressed with the size I am; I thought I'd be bigger.
Adding more volume to saline implants
Thanks for the question. It is too early to judge small issues with symmetry and position. There is likely considerable swelling at the two week point. 2 months will give you a better picture of where you will be in terms of size, shape and symmetry. Adding additional volume requires replacing the implant in most cases. (There is a specialized implant that is more commonly used for reconstruction that has a port that you can add or remove fluid from that is remotely located from the implant - it is unlikely you have this implant). I hope this helps.
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States, with over 300,000 procedures annually. Modern breast implants are available in saline and silicone gel formulations, in round and anatomic (teardrop) shapes. Implant placement can be subglandular (over the muscle) or submuscular (partially or fully under the pectoralis muscle).
When evaluating any cosmetic procedure, choosing a surgeon who operates in an accredited surgical facility is one of the most important safety decisions a patient can make.
