I'd like to put a photo on of my reduced implant size breasts, is there a way of doing this ? I think it would be helpful & when I was looking, I couldn't find anyone that had gone smaller.

Btw my surgeon anticipated there would be no problems with removing my implants because my breasts were so soft. He was right & left the pockets alone, just replacing the implants.

My surgery was a breeze, unlike when had first had them. No pain at all & very little bruising. I understand that a lift is much more complicated - but as it's likely you will sag, are you completely sure about not having new implants ?

Hi, I had my 250cc implants replaced in April (2012) with 170cc's.

They were almost 15 yrs old & I was worried about them although I had had an MRI which confirmed no ruptures. I also always felt they were too big, so was keen to have them smaller. I was a full c & am now just filling a b.

I had the option of going to 210cc but as my surgeon didn't know what size my implants were (estimated around 250cc) we agreed that he would reduce them by about 60cc. As it happens the cc for my implants was 210 or 170's.

They do look more natural.....but I miss the fullness of my old boobs :-/. I could never go au naturel as I was be completely flat.

Nice bras !

I have to say, a few more weeks down the line, & I am still coming to terms with my lack of boob. Of course I still have them, but much smaller.

Preciosa, are you finding it's taking a whole for your eye to adjust to your new size ?

Hi, just wanted to add something about my experience. Had posted earlier on this thread & am now 6 weeks (today!!) post op of replacing my 15 year old implants. I had a full c with 250cc moderate profile silicone & am now at 175cc. I would never consider being implant free - I have very little breast tissue & although fairly slim, my figure is leaning on bottom heavy, with slim arms etc.
I feel happy that my implants probably won't need changing - they are Allergan & in fact my previous ones (I think mentor or mcghan) were still in tact, so probably would have lasted longer.
I understand that if you have the capsule removed, you will lose breast tissue, so you many be smaller than you think.
The bottom line is, do you like having breasts or ? I do :-) You need to have the op anyway & replacement is usually straightforward. Not sure about the capsule bit though ..I'm happy to post a photo of me, but don't know how to do it.
Good luck with your decision.
