Breast Implant Deflation & Repair

Did you recently, or even a while ago, have breast augmentation surgery that did not provide you with satisfactory results? Do you feel like your reshaped breasts are too small, too big, un-even, or displaced? Not to worry! Here at LaserPro Cosmetic, Dr. Hannah Vu and her healthcare professionals crew will help you identify the defect on the job you have had done previously, and help you achieve the look you desire.

What causes breast implant deflation?
With saline breast implants, deflation occurs when the integrity of the outer shell is breached, allowing any saline inside the implant to harmlessly drain out and cause the breast to quickly lose its size and shape.

With silicone breast implants, a breach of the outer shell may also occur. More modern day cohesive gel implants have minimal mobility if the shell is breached, and the implant is also monitored every couple years for such an incident

How long after the initial surgery can the breast implant deflation occur?
Most manufacturers indicate a life span of 10 years, but deflation can occur any time. When an implant is ruptured, additional surgery is needed to remove or replace the implant.

Does insurance cover the replacement?
If you purchased the lifetime warranty when you first received your implants, the warranty should cover the costs of implants and a portion of the surgery. If you need us to check for you, we’d be glad to assist you in any way possible to find out all the necessary information.

What if I didn’t purchase the warranty, what can I do?
If you do not recall purchasing the warranty, then there are others way we can assist you with the costs. Depending on the manufacturer of the implant, you may still have limited warranty to assist you financially. If you bring in your information for us to check, we will definitely inform you of your options.
