I met with a surgeon to discuss breast implant revision surgery. I have PIP (non medical grade implants) high profile 270 cc, 11.2 cm diameter with a 4 cm projection. I would like the size reduced, my surgeon has proposed to replace them with Allergen Moderate profile 210 cc, 10.5 cm diameter with a 3.5 cm projection. I wear a 30DD/E or 28E depending on the brand of bra. I'm 5" 3' and weigh 108lbs. Before the surgery I was an A cup. Will make a lot of difference? Laila
