I am 5’9” 130lbs, and I recently got a BA (starting 34a to 34DD) they put in 405cc implants which I’m devastated about. I wanted to be a full B, small C at biggest, I went into surgery wanting 300cc. I absolutely hate my boobs now but am paranoid when I leave surgery again I will still not be happy. I want to make sure I’m having the right size put in
Answer: Easy swap out current implants for implants 75-100cc smaller, may have to change profile/style of implant at same time FYI

Answer: I want to downsize breast implants... Given your concerns/goals, you seem to have a reasonable plan. Keep in mind as you are thinking about your goals that sometimes adjustment of the breast implant pockets (capsule adjustments) may be necessary to achieve the outcome you are looking for. Much will be dependent on your physical examination; specifically, factors such as the amount of redundant skin and quality of skin elasticity will be important. The 100 cc you are considering downsizing will likely make a "noticeable difference"; what cannot be determined online is whether it will be the exact difference necessary to achieve an outcome that you will be pleased with. My best advice: more communication.Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary (downsizing) breast augmentation surgery is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "down a cup size” or "full B, small C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your chosen plastic surgeon to work with you in determining the best plan to achieve your goals. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Downsizing Thank you for your question and providing photos. It appears that you have a very nice result and your breasts do not look to big for your frame. I understand you want to be smaller. This can easily be done without significant down time. You should see a decent reduction going to 300cc's. I always recommend you go at least 100cc's smaller to see a difference. This will most likely require changing the profile of your implant as the width is very important. Best of luck

Answer: Breasts implants downsizing Dear Floridian, Thanks for posting your before and after pictures. From observing your before picture, your breasts appear to be small A cup size. 300 cc implants will bring you to 34 full B cup size. For 34 small C cup size , you will need implants with volume of 340 cc. Your post operative picture appears to be 34 full C cup size, which is very attractive and natural looking, however, this is a very personal preference . If smaller size will make you comfortable and happy, than , there is nothing wrong with getting a smaller size implant. Discuss it with your surgeon, though, I hope that the communication issue was not his fault, because if it was, you might want to consider consulting with other experienced board certified plastic surgeons. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: BA results Dear 1237188,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you might still be in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Modified Benelli with implant exchange At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To decrease from 400 cc to 300 cc will only take you down 1 size to a D. You will need at least 200 cc to go to a C. Also, your breasts are pointing outward and you may benefit from a modified Benelli lift. Using a circumareola approach, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, the implants can be exchanged for small ones.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
