Take out Implants After Already Had Lift with Them? (photo)
I already had the lollipop lift with 330cc saline implant. I I was originally a 36D but my doctor said that the lift would bring me to a possible B or C range.....that made me nervous...being I was always a D. This D is a lot fuller with the implant possibly a DD. I wouldn't mind being a full C with the implant taking out...but will this compromise the lift? I am so upset n confused n I don't want to wait too long if.I 5"7 about 130 pounds. If I do take the implant out what size do u think I will be?

Ultimately, it will be a very personal decision; will you be happier with smaller, less firm breasts? The breast lift itself will not necessarily be “compromised" if you have the breast implants removed.

Breast Implant Removal After Mastopexy Augmentation
Removing a breast implant reduces the size of the breast and support for the skin. Unfortunately, there is no way to answer your question without a better history and a physical examination. This type of question needs to be answered in person, and ideally with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with plenty of breast enhancement experience.
