Give it a few months and then re-evaluate

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Options for reducing breast implant size?

I had a breast lift and breast augmentation w/ 375cc implants. I was originally a saggy B but now (7 days post-op) I am mortified at how big they look. I feel like a porn star. My husband is freaking becuase of the money we've already spent but I just couldn't go through life like this. What options do I have? Can the current implants be "deflated" in some way?

Hello,

It is not uncommon to feel your breasts are too large within a few weeks of surgery. Then later many women feel that they are too small. Let your body accomodate to them and then re-evaluate things before rushing into more surgery.

You will likely need new implants though if you do go for more surgery, as the fill tolerance of most saline implants is very small. Under filling can encourage early rupture not to mention a poor "feel."
