Can Inframammary Fold Be Sutured to Fit Smaller Implant?

February 16, 2009
Asked By:mariana in colmbia

If my natural inframammary fold was lowered and the sides of my breasts where made wider to fit the diameter of my 500 gram implants, can they be sutured successfully to fit the smaller-diameter implant(425 grams), resulting in breast thats don´t look to wide and low? Is the result permanent? Meaning that the weight of the implant won´t make it big again? Thanks for all your valuable answers.
