Dr. Eid told me that i should always deflate my implant fully if i don't use it, in order to prevent this.
I'd assume that if the tissue is under constant stretch/pressure, the blood flow there is not too well and it can hurt the tissue over time.
A few pumps won't hurt, but leaving it at 50% all the time, i doubt is good.
