I'm 44 yo w/275 gel implants from years ago. I wanted to fill my A cup--keep small breasts, just a little fuller. The difference between band & breast measurements was 1/2 inch before surgery, now 5 inches. I'm a 34D. Had consults w/3 PS. None have experience w/small implants. and they're "not worth it" I think 100-125cc with a life would put me at A-B cup. Thoughts? I can't really afford this so don't want another size mistake. I'm 5'1", 110 lbs. breastfed 4 kids.

Answer: Small implants of 100-125 Exchanging for small implants like teh ones mentioned would probably add almost nothing to your volume. You would have to be seen in person to be evlauted. You may need a lift as well.

Answer: Trading down to a smaller size implant Yours is an unusual question. Your present 275cc implant is a routine size for plastic surgeons, and perhaps on the smaller side since many patients want 300 - 400 cc's.You must understand that trading down would mean that your breasts would be smaller. You must also realize that your breast skin has been stretched out with the present larger implant plus the result of breast feeding 4 kids. As a result, a smaller implant would "swim" in your breast and cause them to hang low (we call it a "rock in a sock"). You would probably require a concomitant breast uplift to remove the excess skin and probably to elevate a nipple which may be too low.This is a complicated procedure but it can be done.Elliot W.
