I had breast re augmentation going from 250 silicon Mentor UHP (placed 10 years ago) to 350 UHP (placed 3 months ago) I am 5'4, 123 pounds. I don't like that they project to much and I also think that I would like to be something in between the two volumes. The doctor told me that these implants are more cohesive and that is why a feel them harder to the touch. Can I change that using an implant with different cohesivity?
Answer: Size You might want to also go down in height as well as volume. The more cohesive gel can feel a little firmer, especially with women with little breast tissue. However, you need to give yourself time to heal first and let wall the swelling subside. Please wait at least 6 months before considering a change. You may find you are good.

Answer: Breast implants It seems that you are moving too quickly in your decision. I don’t think 50 cc will make much difference but there’s no medical reason to stop you from switching sizes.

Answer: Best breast implants for me – revisionary breast surgery? There are many factors, besides breast implant volume that may come into play when it comes to the aesthetic outcome (including projection) achieved with breast augmentation as well as revisionary breast augmentation surgery. For example, the profile of breast implant utilized, degree of cohesively of the breast implant utilized, adjustment of surrounding capsules if necessary… may be factors to consider in some cases. My best advice: communicate your concerns/goals carefully with your plastic surgeon. In our practice, I ask patient to communicate these goals with the help of goal photographs. Make sure that you are both on the same page prior to proceeding. Best wishes.

Answer: Downsize implant size Thank you for your question. Usually a 50 cc difference in size will not make that much of a difference in volume but if you aren't happy with your current projection also then you could change the profile and size of your implants. I would show your PS the look you wish to achieve and he/she should be able to select the right size and shape to get you closer to that look. Best of luck to you.
