Downsized Last November and Still Feel Too Big?

Hi! I downsized last November and still feel too big. I have memory gel, mod plus 375ccs, I want to go back to saline ( I feel safer knowing I would instantly know if they rupture) My current implants are 12.8 diameter, 4 projection. I want to go down to mods, saline, 225ccs 11.5 diameter, 3.5 projection. Should I see a significant difference or should I use natrelle instead which project even less? I am 5'6, 125, 28.5 ribcage, slim hips and legs.

Downsizing breast implants

This is a complex decision that requires evaluation by a highly experienced plastic surgeon. There are two specific caveats. First, if you downsize that much, you may very well need a lift of some sort to tighten the breast structure. Second, please make sure you fully understand the difference in behavior between gel and saline implants. They are very different, especially if you don't have a large amount of breast structure to hide them. Best of luck! more
