I'm petite, 5'2" 103 lbs, and 34 B entire life. I had surgery in Feb 2009 to get back the volume I lost. My breast implants are 350cc mentor mod plus. I feel very big and uncomfortable with my look and out of proportion. I'm VERY anxious to downsize. But to what? I feel the mod plus is very wide. But the narrower options have very high projections. I'm considering 275cc mod plus. I'm afraid 300cc won't be small enough. I hate to make another surgical mistake. My biggest concerns are how do I know what size to choose? Is the skin likely to tighten?

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing It is very unfortunate that you will be undergoing another surgery in less than a year to resolve a problem that should not happen. Anyhow, I generally tell my patients that you need to decrease the size by about 100cc to really notice a difference. Now, it all depends on how your skin quality was before surgery. If you had loose skin and the surgeon was trying to fill the skin up, you may have loose hanging skin after the fact, or your nipple/areola complex may be a bit on the low side. If the skin was tight before your surgery then it should not be a big issue. Good luck.

Answer: Downsizing implants. I would tend to agree with your assessment. I don't think 300 cc implants would make a significant difference if you feel the 350 are too large. Decreasing down to 275cc is not a major size change (roughly 2.5 ounces). I believe your skin will contract down nicely to accomodate the new implant, given the relatively short time since they were placed .
