A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD (recorded Mar 5, 2024) discussing management of overfilled saline breast implants. In this chunk he states he will always deflate an overfilled saline implant (example given: a 900cc device) before operating and asserts deflation is safe, comparing it to a rupture/deflation scenario which typically causes no untoward effects.

If I have somebody with overfilled saline implants, like I will say that 900cc device I referred to, I won't operate on them without deflating their device. And people will ask, well, how can you deflate it? And is it safe? Of course it's safe, because just in the example I mentioned before, if you had a rupture and it deflated, nothing's going to happen untoward to the patient in a typical case. And so.
