I've had 4 augmentations in the last 10 years. My first was 440cc post 2 pregnancies, following a 3rd they dropped, aug revision and wanted a bit bigger 600cc but my Dr went 800UHP and they were just enormous, so yet another augmentation down to 600cc moderate profile which is still not what I'd asked for and made my boobs look saggy. Went back up to 800cc again at moderate and I just think they are too big for my body. Implant has also appears to flatten at the bottom.
Answer: Implants With smaller implants, you will probably need a lift to deal with the excess skin and relocate your nipples to the proper position. The 800 cc implants are just too massive for most women.

Answer: To avoid a lift, could I exchange XL implants for smaller ones and a higher profile? Thank you for your questions. It seems like you have lacked some good communication with your surgeons regarding your goals and outcomes. I suggest before having another surgery, you take the time to figure out what you really need and how to achieve your goals. If you go down in size and up in profile, then you are going to end up with an implant that is very short and not very wide and is likely going to again result in a poor outcome. Usually when a patient is trying to do thing to "avoid a lift" then a lift is exactly what they need and efforts to avoid it lead to early revision and re-operations, usually including a lift.

Answer: Breast revision I agree that downsizing is a good idea. I don’t know if you need a lift after having such heavy implants. I know you don’t want a lift but if you don’t get one you risk having another poor result. Go get some opinions from some surgeons who is experienced in breast revision. Just changing sizes has not been a good strategy

Answer: Breast revision Photos are essential in answering your questions. From your history alone, I would guess that you should go smaller and have a lift.
