I am 5'6" and 119lbs. I am small boned. I currently have 350cc's low profile Breast implants and feel I look to top heavy. I wanted to have the implants removed but the ps is strongly against it. He says they will look like a flat tire.He is suggesting exchanging them for 250cc's moderate profile with a Mini Breast Lift. I am concerned that I will still be to top heavy. Really could use some advice.

Answer: Don't get caught up in the details of choosing implants... Hi there- The best advice I could give you is to focus on your desired breast contour. Forget everything else. Close your eyes and imagine the breast size, shape, and proportion to the rest of your body that you would like to achieve. Now communicate that appearance to your surgeon. In my opinion, the best way to do this is through photos (that whole "picture is worth a thousand words" thing has been around a long time for a reason), but the point is really to communicate what you want to LOOK LIKE- NOT what number you want on your implants or what letter you want on your bra. After understanding your desired APPEARANCE, your surgeon should be able to make a good recommendation for achieving it for you. For more about how to properly proceed, and how not to, please read this: http://orlandoplasticsurgery.blogspot.com/2010/01/achieving-beautiful-breasts-you-desire.html#f562

Answer: Breast Implant removal The one question I would ask is how long you have had the implants? If they have been present for over a year the breast tissue has accomodated to the new volume and your skin will not tighten after the implants are removed. 350 cc are large and the impact on the breast and the skin will be obvious upon removal. Generally speaking, when implants are removed the upper pole volume of the breast is dramatically reduced. The nipple position will appear lower and the breast will appear "saggy". Like the surgeon you saw in consultation, I would encourage decreasing the volume of the implant not removing it. The exception would be if you have ample breast volume, you are young, it is within 3 months of implant placement or the skin quality is excellent and you are accepting of a more "mature appearance" of your breasts. If you have saline implants and are committed to a surgical procedure, your surgeon may be willing to "pop" your implants. This will give you the closest approximation to your appearance if the implants were to be removed. I hope this was helpful.
