Revisionary breast surgery is very safe as long as you pick the right plastic surgeon. The procedure would be very similar to the original breast augmentation surgery and involve removing your current 500 high profile implants and replacing them with smaller (moderate profile) implants. Since you are only 3 months post-op surgery, you may want to wait a few more months to see the final result. Over time, your implants will become softer and settle into the pocket. Massage the breasts to prevent encapsulation and to soften up the breasts. You may be happier with the results at a later time. It you are still unhappy with the size and shape of the breasts, then you can proceed with revisionary breast surgery. Please check out poustiplasticsurgery.com for more information on the procedure.
Removing and replacing an implant
Tom J. Pousti, MD answers: Is breast implant reduction too risky?
I had 500 grams silicone high profile implants place about 3 months ago. They feel a little too big and firm. I would like to downgrade them to maybe 425, maybe same projection but lesser diameter, since my ribcage is rather small. I am not necessarily looking for a conservative look; I just don't want to look too big. Is the procedure of downsizing an implant complicated or risky? I would probably do it in a couple of months.
