Will I have to downsize my breast implants after losing weight?

At 5'3", 650 cc implants are too large and heavy for your frame and tissue. However, loose all the weight you want to first, and then access your breasts.

Hello @johndoe133 thank you for your question. When you want a reduction in the volume of your body contour, you will lose weight and reduce measurements, the volume of the breast will also decrease because the breast is composed of fat and gland. However if you have mixed feelings about the size of your breast wait till you go down in measurements to see if you loose a great amount of fat in the breast area. Best wishes!

650 cc implants are quite large and weigh 1 1/2 lbs each. Losing 40 lbs will change a lot of the fat content in your breasts. There are 2 parts of the breast: breast fat and breast parenchyma. The parenchyma will stay the same but the fat content will drop. So your breasts should decrease in size. Also, your skin envelope may be laxed and hang. It is most likely that you will need a lift and implant exchange or removal. The lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.

Best Wishes,
