I Have 10 Year Old Implants and Am a 30G but Have Some Sagging and Would Like Some Advise on Options?

I have 10 year old implants and am a 30G which I do feel is fairly large.. I am now looking for ways I can improve the look with surgery. I am not very keen to have a full uplift as really don't like the look of the scars. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I am based in London. Many thanks

Implants in a 30 G-cup

There must be something lost in translation, for a G-cup by US measure is massive, and a 30 (inch?) chest is so small it is before Victoria had a secret.

Extra Large Breast Implants and Revision

Revision of augment

With G cup augment for many years, in all likelihood, if you opt for smaller implants, you will need a lift. There are variations on the lift and you should discuss them, as well as the scarring, with your plastic surgeon. No operation is scar free including the augment itself and most scars go on to fade nicely. I find that patients worry more about lift scars than virtually any other type of scarring and that this is based on preconceptions or seeing immediate postop photos. more

Breast revision surgery

Thank you for the question. It would be difficult to give a good answer without seeing you. But, in general, there are different way to address your situation. If you want to go smaller, you may need a lift. The type of lift will depend on the amount of excess skin and the size of the implant. My advice for you is to see a plastic surgeon who has experience in revision breast surgery. You may want to get more than one consultation. Check before and photos. And it is very important that... more
