Q: Breast implant size and skin tightening after downsizing surgery?
A:
While it is a good thing to be an informed patient and actively engaged in the sizing of breast implants, it is the surgeon's responsibility based on his/her expertise that determines final implant size. There is simply no way to answer your question without a physical exam. Downsizing may or may not require additional lifting procedures. There are many factors that determine this (i.e. skin quality, size of breast implant, submuscular vs. subglandular implant position). I recommend going in for a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find the answers to your questions. Good luck!
