Started C cup. 2020 Had breast aug w/lift Silicone Mentor moderate plus 300cc L, 325cc R above muscle. DD cup now. Complication on R w/more bleeding/swelling & have capsular contraction on right. Never liked projection or size. Contemplating explant w/lift vs implant exchange w/lift. Curious if natural breast tissue is now compressed from implants? If I replace implants, would like lowest profile & much smaller, possible? Chest diameter: 31" Breast diameter: 9", waist: 29", hips: 37. 5'11" 150lb

Answer: Surgery I would recommend total complete capsulectomies, new implants wrapped in Galaflex (slightly downsizing), and adding a lift. This is a complex surgery that needs to be approached by a very experienced revisionary breast expert.

Answer: Implant Downsizing Options Thank you for your question. Prolonged use of implants can compress natural breast tissue. However, some elasticity and volume may recover over time, especially after the removal of implants or replacement with smaller ones. You can safely downsize to low or moderate-profile implants and consider a breast lift to reshape your breasts after downsizing, mainly if there is skin laxity or nipple ptosis resulting from the previous augmentation. It is important to address the capsular contracture on your right side during the revision surgery. I recommend consulting a surgeon to evaluate your anatomy and goals so they can create a personalized plan tailored to your desired goals.
