I had a BA about 5 weeks ago. Healing has gone well. I wanted a very modest BA. Athough I'm happy with the surgeon's work and how natural the outlines look, I feel like I have a good idea of what they're going to look like in 6 months now as a lot of the swelling has already subsided, and they're just too big for what I think looks natural for me. I don't want to go all summer covering up my too-large-for-me new breasts. Can't they just be swapped from 300cc to 250cc under local anesthesia?

Answer: Breasts augmentation implants size reduction Dear Anon, Thanks for submitting your pictures. From observing your pictures, you appear C cup on the right side and small C cup on the left side. Your left breast fold is higher. This is still early on in the healing process and I would recommend to wait 3 months for the maturation process to advance. I hope that you doing religiously, the implants displacement massage. The asymmetry might be due to fluids in the right breast and it takes 2-3 months, for the fluids to get absorbed. Once the implants settle down and you still want your breasts smaller, it will be easier to assess the amount of implants size reduction. It will depends on your chest circumference measurement in inches. For instance, if you are presently 34 C cup, to become 34 full B , you will have to reduce the size by 75 cc. The procedure can be easily done under local anesthesia, though, doing it under sedation anesthesia will be more comforting to you. Best of luck,

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. Theoretically, yes, the implants could be switched under sedation anesthesia, as we have done in our practice. However, it is still too early to perform on someone who just had implants placed 5 weeks ago. The breast tissue needs to form a proper response around the implant, and the tissue is still inflamed and healing. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before considering a revision. Best discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. All the best,
