Asked By:ColoradoGirl2022 in Denver, Colorado

I had a “revision” April 6. Gained about 5lbs since I had my them done originally (8 yrs ago), & instead of doing full lift redo, he tacked the skin. It failed. We agree we have to do another revision. They look like they’re smashed together now, like I have symmastia. He said to get a beautiful shape, he has to redo the pocket, redo the lift,go down in size. I now have 550cc/600 ccs.How much do I have to go down to keep a larger implant but still create some space?
