I had my first breast augmentation in 2015 (325cc silicone moderate plus under the muscle). I decided that I wanted a fuller look and in May 2018, I had an exchange to 500cc silicone high profile under the muscle. Now I regret having the revision. The implants are too big for my body frame and it's hard to work out. Is it possible to downsize to 350cc without a lift? Some more information about me: my current bra size is 34dd. I'm 32 years old, 5'7'' and 126lbs.

Answer: Downsizing For some reason, patients seem to think that losing volume in their breasts will cause their breast tissue to head south. It doesn't. Your nipple won't be any lower after downsizing than it was before downsizing. You will just be a bit smaller. Think about it like liposuction in the thigh. If you remove a large volume of fat in the thigh, the skin does not sag down. It does take a bit of time for the elastic fibers to tighten down, however. Based on your pictures, I think you will do just fine without a lift following downsizing.

Answer: Downsizing Since you are going down about a cup, you may do well with just changing the implants. You could consider a minimally invasive procedure like ThermiTight to help tighten any loose skin with very minimal scarring. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options.
