I currently have 400ccs sils under -diam.13.1/4.0 proj. Im much larger than I want so I want to downsize with capsullorhaphy & no lift. My surgeon is going to waive fee, but he wants me to decide on size, he doesnt want to be responsible for me not liking the outcome again. I attached some photos of my goals, preop and current. I want allergan saline low profile. What should I choose? 170cc(9.9/3.2) 195cc(10.4/3.3) 220cc(10.9/3.4). I want to be small again. I heard u can go too small an look bad

Answer: Smaller implant exchange It's best to discuss and collaborate with your surgeon regarding your new size. I would recommend at least a 100cc downsize and change to the new Sientra shaped textured round base silicone implants. I think these implants are especially suited for patients who are borderline needing a lift as part of the downsizing implant exchange. Please discuss this potential option with your surgeon. Breast of luck.

Answer: Downsizing your breast implants
If I understand you correctly, you currently have 400cc and want to downsize to the 170-200 range without a lift. I think that if you go too small, then you will have skin laxity and droop that will be a problem for you. The solution is to go slightly larger in the range of 200-275 or go small but also have a lift. I am not sure that low profile is the right choice for you but without examining you, I cannot be sure. You plastic surgeon should be involved in the size selection. Clearly he wants you to make the final decision, but he needs to guide you. I think he doesn't want to pick the size because you were unhappy with his size selection in the first surgery and now he has to re-do it and waive his fees, despite the fact that his is spending time and assuming the liability for your second surgery.
