Saline implant deflation procedure
Oct 2, 2019

Yes, this can be done in the office, and you will need to have the implants themselves removed at a later date.

4 months post-op —does it look like I need a revision?

Need revision?
Oct 2, 2019

At four months postop, your best bet is to wait until fully healed, usually at least a full year, to make any final judgements on the need for a revision.
Hope this helps! Always be sure to consult your board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
