Saline breast implants can fail or deflate at any time following implantation. However, when it happens, it usually becomes apparent following a few days. You can have a partial deflation for a short while; however, it eventually fully deflates if you wait long enough.
Breasts change over time, especially following augmentation. Changes occur with age, weight changes, pregnancy, etc. It is not uncommon to feel that one’s breasts are getting smaller or ‘looser’ as the skin further expands and if you lose weight. This can lead to the feeling of ‘rippling’. You should seek an appointment with your board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your breasts. You may benefit from a silicone gel implant.
