In 2004, at age 43, I requested full C breast implants for my A/AA breasts. The PS used smooth saline round implants that were around 400-425, o/f to 450cc. They were placed too low and are too large, and I have never been happy as they make me look matronly, despite my being tall and slim.

How long between an in-office deflation and re-implantation with smaller silicone implants to achieve the most tightening?
