Can I have a 3rd augmentation to reduce implant size?

November 19, 2024
Asked By:user162626 in Chicago, Illinois

I recently upsized breast implants from 360cc to 560cc. I immediately regret this decision, they are way too big and heavy and not worth the future risks/complications. I would like to downsize back to 360-400cc. Is this possible? How long do I have to wait in between surgeries to have another revision? If I get it done as soon as I am able to, will my skin likely snap back faster since I would not keep the large implants in for long? Thank you in advance
