Breast Aug with Lift
With the amount of drooping you had prior to surgery, a full mastopexy and implants appear to have been the right combination to give you that “full and perky” look. It sounds as though you are a little more full than you had anticipated. Communication is crucial prior to surgery. Your photos show a very good result from where you started!

Breast augmentation and size regrets.
The basic premise of a breastlift is dependent on how your feel about size when in a properly fitting bra. If you like the volume in a bra, then implants are not typically recommended. In these cases, a lift is performed. If you wish to be a bit larger, then implants are advised. If you wish to be a bit smaller, a reduction is performed. The bottom line is communication with your surgeon and understanding the proposed plan. At 6 weeks, you are early in the healing process and you should give...

Give it time
Since you are only 6 weeks post-op, I would first recommend not worrying too much - you certainly still have some swelling and will have some additional breast changes. If you were happy with the cup size you started with, you may have been able to do just the lift without the implants. Obviously not being present during your consultation makes it difficult to know what was discussed. I do tell patients not to focus solely on bra size, as it can be so varied from brand to...

Breasts after lift and augmentation
If you liked the volume you had prior to implants then a lift would have been enough. If you wanted the shape of the implant, this size may have been appropriate. Since I was not present at your consultation I do not knwo what was discussed.

Questions about size following a breast augmentation and lift
Your result after a breast augmentation and lift is quite good for 6 weeks post op. Now size is another question. The questions that should be reviewed prior to surgery is if you were satisfied with your breast size while in a bra prior to surgery. The implant was used to give you additional upper pole fullness, you could have used a smaller implant but you need an implant of sufficient base diameter to fill the base of your breast pyramid. Once you have healed and...

Augment/mastopexy results
I think you may be giving mixed messages in that you want "full" but also say that you are too big. I personally would have gone smaller because, although 320 cc isn't a large implant, you appear to have had large breasts to begin with. The starting point of your breasts is typical of a breast reduction patient. At this point, you do need to give things time to settle down before making any decisions as to revision.

Results after Breast Augmentation/Lift
You are 6 weeks post op so first I would wait and give time for things to settle. You may not get smaller but can adjust to your appearence and size. If after so many months have passed and you still feel too large, an implant size change can be done without difficulty. Overall, your aesthetic post operative appearence looks quite good, so I would just give it time.

Breast Augmentation and Lift
Thank you for the question and your picture. Let me start off by saying that you have had a very nice result. At this time you are still in the early stages of healing. There is significant inflammation and scarring that occurs during the first 3 months or so after any surgery. With time the inflammatory process will abate and you will begin to notice your breast size decrease and your breast soften. If after that time,3 to 6 months, you are still unhappy with the size of your breast discuss...

The only way to get smaller after breast augmentation is to change out to smaller implants.
The result of a mastopexy and breast augmentation appears to be quite good. The breasts may decrease in size a bit as swelling subsides but this will not be appreciable. I would leave well enough alone but if the patient truly wants to be smaller another operation will be required.

Breast Augmentation and Lift
If you had C or D cup breasts before surgery, then placing an implant will make you larger than a full C. Hopefully, you had that discussion before surgery. Implants always increase volume of breasts. The implant could be downsized if you think you are too big.
