Breast Implant Deflation
Case Details & Description
- Patient Age: 36
- Gender: Female
- Surgeon: Dr. Hobar
- Types of Surgery: Breast Implant Deflation
This 36 year old woman underwent breast augmentation with saline implants. Three years later she developed a leak and deflation of her right implant. Dr. Hobar easily went back in through the axillary incision and replaced the right implant in a surgery that took less than 30 minutes operative time. There was relatively little discomfort because the pocket was already made and the muscle was preconditioned to have an implant underneath it.
