Exchange for smaller implants at 8 weeks post-op, under local anesthesia? (photo)

jp92657
I had a BL/BA almost 8 weeks ago. While I know it's still very early, I really wish they were smaller. I'm 5'2" 135lbs BWD 13 and I have 400cc Mentor HP. It's very apparent there was a pretty big miscommunication between myself and my surgeon. I really wish I would've shown her pictures of my goals. Anyway, is it possible to exchange to smaller under local anesthesia? Would this be considered as easy surgery? Please help! I'm miserable.
