Breast Implants: Q&A

Had a BA 3 Years Ago and They Are Too Big. Should I Remove or Replace With Smaller? Just Don't Want Sag.
Hi, I'm 27 years old and 3 years ago I had a BA, silicon implants 390cc in each breast, through the nipples. I don't want them anymore! I feel they are too large and make me look really bulky. What is the best thing to do? Just get them removed? Or go smaller so I don't sag? I'm not interested in a lift, is it ok to remove the implants without a lift and still look nice? will going smaller prevent my breasts looking saggy?

Removing the implants completely may cause some sagging to the breasts. If you want to go smaller they may be OK. It is best to go for an exam to give a better assessment.

It would be helpful to see a photo of you before your surgery and now. It is hard to predict how your breast tissue and skin will react after removal. It depends on the elasticity of your skin, the amount of breast volume that the implant occupies, and how you heal. The last is somewhat unpredictable. A consultation with a surgeon would help answer your question better.
