Implant removal. Any suggestions?

Question

Is it just absolutely true, not to be able to go from a full size D, to a full B, with the roundness and perky Ness? While I was wanting a lift, and all, it said that it would not matter bc going that small wouldn't matter, isn't this the point of a lift.?, or he recommended that I just take my implants out, all together bc I appear to look a full B. Wth.

It is quite common to have implants removed and a lift performed in order to reshape a breast where an implant has been present for some time.  If you like the volume you have with the implants it is possible to keep the implants and have a breast lift performed.  I encourage you to meet with a few board certified plastic surgeons for consultations to help you determine the right surgical path for you.

It is very difficult to comment without a photo. Generally, if you wanted to go really small, you may need a lift. Again, it all depends on body. If you have saline implants, we will deflate initially to determine if you will need another implant or lift. There are many possibilities here. Best to discuss with your Plastic Surgeon. Good luck.

Without photographs it is indeed difficult to determine what you will need.  It is also impossible to predict whether or not you will need a lift.

Stuart A. Linder, MD, FACS · Answer

Need photographs to determine whether a lift and which one would be preferable. A drain for a week would be very useful as well. Best of luck

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

Typically when removing larger implants and going from a DD size to B-C cup size, a lift is indicated otherwise the breasts would be very ptotic.  Maybe if you post photos we could better understand your situation.  Best wishes, Dr. T.
