Abstract

The occurrence of postoperative noise in saline breast implants is caused by inadvertent retention or injection of air during filling at the time of implantation. A volume of air as small as 2 cc in most breast implant sizes can result in this phenomenon. A simple method of prefilling and aspiration of saline before implantation can completely eliminate the possibility of its postoperative occurrence.
