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: 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.
