Will Going from 371cc to 213cc Natrelle Style 15 Implants Make a Dramatic Difference? (photo)

I am 39 years old, 5'6' and 125 lbs. Before breast implants I was a Small 34B. I am a 34D now. I never wanted big breasts. I only wanted my deflated and saggy ones to look good again. I have decided to have another surgery and get smaller implants. I am considering Natrelle Style 15 213cc implants. Will this make my breasts dramatically smaller? Because that is what I want. I am hoping to achieve a full B, small C, no more than that.

If you are not happy with the size of your breast implants smaller ones would be reasonable

Hello, Thank you for the photos. Going from 371 to 213 will make a difference as this would be about a 30% reduction. If you truly are not happy with the size of your current breasts then the only option you have is to have a smaller implant. You will have to make this decision for yourself as I think many would agree that the size of your current breasts appear to be in good proportion to your body. All the best, Dr Remus Repta

Downsizing breast implants

The same problems in choosing implants to put in or upsizing existing implants also relate to replacing them with smaller implants. You cannot just pick a size (volume in cc's) and make it work. In downsizing, the width/diameter of the replacement implant needs to be the same or very slightly less than the existing implant while the forward volume (profile) can come down within what is available. Since your are a medium profile (Style 15) gel-filled implant, you can decrease it to... more

Decreasing breast implant size

Given your photos and size of your frame, I believe that a decrease of breast implant size from a 371cc to 213cc should accomplish what you are hoping to achieve. Although, no one can guarantee a specific cup size, the size implant you are proposing should put your breasts in the C cup size range. Best wishes.

Hello

Thank you for your pictures, it looks like you would get what you are wanting with the downsizing size you are looking to get.

Downsizing #BreastImplants

From your photos, it appears that you will see a change with the downsizing you propose. However, you have to remember that the volume you want removed will cause you to have less fullness on the upper aspect of the breast (the new implant is smaller). This may also leave you with some excess skin as the breast is less full leading to a more "droopy" appearance. You need to understand the possible outcomes before you decide as it is not as simple as just exchanging for smaller implants... more

Downsizing Implants

Downsizing of breast implants can be a relatively straight forward procedure but it has its complications. When downsizing I do recommend a reduction of at least 100 cc. In your case the 160 cc is a 40% reduction which will be significant. I would entertain the Style 10 with a larger diameter but this is something to discuss with your surgeon. Communication between you and your surgeon is critical prior to any surgical procedure to avoid this situation. I would encourage you to... more

About 150cc smaller breast implants

Thank you for your posting - I do think that the size decrease you are considering will put you in the range you're looking for. In my experience, for there to be a satisfying change in implant size, patients usually need to shoot for around 100cc difference. You're going for a difference of nearly 160cc which I do think will put you in the range that you're describing.

Implant downsizing

The volume change you are contemplating should put you in the cup size range that you want...keep in mind that though this is a simple procedure, it is not without risk of infection and capsule contracture .

Downsizing of Breast Implants Concerns…

Thank you for the question and pictures. The downsizing of breast implants are you have described will certainly lead to a significant ( “dramatic”) change in breast size. Whether or not this is the “right answer” for you will depend on many variables…The exact cup size you will end up cannot be accurately predicted. I would suggest that you do not base your communication ( with your plastic surgeon) and/or your satisfaction with the end results of surgery based on... more

371cc to 213cc

Sounds like you went up two full cup sizes or so. Using an implant about half the size should put you in the C range. Remember there are no fixed definitions of cup sizes, and no certainties. Thanks for your question and for the attached photos. Best wishes.
