Im 28 yrsold,5'7",130lbs,2pregnancies prior to aug, 1preg after augmentation. High pro saline under muscle 420 filled to 450. 2 docs seen for revision said I will not need a lift when downsizing & suggested at least 150ccs less. I wear 34DD with every bra brand & wish to be 34C max. I want a smaller look. Doc says breast will look exactly the same shape just smaller. Doc Says I Will NOT Need Lift? Will revision put me at higher risk of something going wrong? Capsu contr?Bottom out?Hard?Or will body heal fine since 1st time went well.
Answer: Hate Being 34DD Wanted to Be 34C. Wish to Downsize 3yr Implants from 450ccs to at Least 300ccs? (photo)
Nobody can predict the future with absolute accuracy, and therefore nobody can tell you with certainty that you will or will not "heal fine". Every procedure is accompanied by risk, including aesthetic risks, implant related risks, and medical risk. You look very nice from every direction shown. My recommendation would be to keep current implants unless you are absolutely miserable with them. Both size and shape are superb.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Deciding on a Breast Revision with Implant Downsizing It is certainly feasible to #downsize to smaller implants and also alter the positioning; if possible. However, decreasing is size may also require a Breast #Lift to to #tighten loose skin, better optimize the end result. Any #revision has risks of unhappy outcome or other complications.

Answer: Downsizing implants
I agree with the surgeons you have already seen. In your case you should be able to switch to smaller I plants without a lift and no special work done on the pocket.

Answer: Downsizing Breast Implants
Anytime you have any kind of procedure there is a small risk. For breast implants that includes capsular contracture, infection, and bottoming out, however, the risk is minimal. If you feel that your current size is too big than downsizing is good option.
One advantage of having saline implants is that if you do choose to go down in size, you can have them deflated in the office a few weeks before the surgery to allow your skin to accommodate and tighten up before replacing with a smaller implant. This reduces the likelyhood of needing a breast lift and can allow for more precise placement of the new smaller implant.

Answer: Downsizing Breast Augmentation
Hello,
It is not uncommon to see women wanting to downsize their implants. Motives that drove the surgeon to place implants that were ultimately too large range from patient demands to drooping breasts that 'needed' a large implant. Regardless, the task of the surgeon is now to make the breast smaller and also preserve or enhance it's shape.
The volumes you mentioned (420 filled to 450) sound like either a Natrelle moderate profile implant filled to capacity, or a Mentor high profile implant filled to the low end of it's available range (420 to 500). Which one it is may influence the type of implant that will be chosen, however, I agree the new size should be 150 cc (or 25%) less volume than you have now.
It is always challenging to look at photos and make this sort of prediction, but I believe that you will not need a lift. There does appear to be some discrepancy in the position of your nipples which may be photographic artifact or the real situation. If that is the case, a discussion should be had regarding it's correction if possible. Frequently internal pocket adjustments are made to accommodate the smaller implant as well.
Best of luck!
