Can I Avoid a Lift when Downsizing from 450ccs to 350ccs?

I've had 450ccs high profile saline implants for 3 years but always thought they were too big. I am 5'7, 128lbs. I had 2 children prior to my augmentation & one pregnancy after my augmentation. I didn't gain any weight & my breasts didn't grow much during the pregnancy. I do notice supple softness but nothing else. I really want to downsize from 450ccs to 350ccs without a lift. I am only 29 years old & don't want the extra scarring. Will downsizing 100ccs even make a difference? I am a 34dd now..

Hello

Without a picture or an exam it’s very hard to give you adequate advice. 100cc is not a big difference if you want to down size. In our practice we tell our patients that 225cc equal about one cup size.

Avoid Breast lifting when Downsizing Breast Implants?

Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, there are many variables involved in the decision-making process in your case; this makes it difficult to give you precise advice without direct examination. For example, you may have lost some breast tissue volume and/or breast skin elasticity after your final pregnancy. Generally speaking downsizing 100 mL does make a difference, although it is difficult to predict ( especially without direct examination) whether... more
