Before and after bilateral saline breast implant deflation in a 49-year-old woman.  She had had her breast implants for two years and was tired of them – she was unsure whether she wanted a lift in addition to removing her implants – so was excited to be able to see what her breasts looked like two decades after her implants were put in!

Deflation of her implants was performed in the office as a simple procedure that took only ten minutes!  After surgery, she kept her chest wrapped snugly with an ACE wrap for two weeks to help her breast skin contract.

Follow up photos are shown 6 months after saline breast implant deflation.  She is considering a skin-only mastopexy (breast lift) at the time of shell removal, which will be done through her existing inframammary fold scar.
