I received 375 cc left breast and 350 cc right breast high profile under the muscle 3 months ago. I stressed to the surgeon that my biggest fear was going too big. I am 5 ft 2 125 lb. I’m comfortable with my breast from the front but they stick out way too much which makes me few heavy. I’d love to downsize without a breast lift. Would 50 or 75 cc make much of a difference? I really don’t want a massive amount of sag. I was a 34 B with a little sag preop now I’m a 34 D but will love a C.
Answer: Would downsizing my breast implants 50 to 75 mL's make much of a difference? It has only been three months since your breast implant surgery was done. You still have some swelling, so I recommend that you wait another three or four months to see how you like them when all of the postoperative swelling has subsided, an d your tissues have relaxed.

Answer: Changing implant size Going down 75 cc would make a subtle difference, probably less than 1/2 cup size. But I would recommend waiting until you are at least 6 months and maybe even a year after your surgery. Your perception and happiness with your size may change over time. Fortunately, if you do decide to switch implants it is a easy procedure to have done. Good luck.

Answer: Not Enough To Make a Visual Difference Hello,NOBODY can predict what cup size anyone might be, whether it is a primary breast augmentation, a revision to go smaller, or a revision to go bigger. That's because there is no correlation between implants and cups. Instead of planning on a cup size, had you and your surgeon sized in the office using sizers, an unpadded bra, a few favorite tops, and a mirror, you would likely be happy today. Going down 75 cc from a 375 cc and 350 cc implant is only a 15% and 20% reduction, respectively; both too little to make a visual difference. Best of luck!

Answer: I want to downsize my breast implant. Would 50 or 75 cc make much of a difference? 50cc is 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of volume, and makes a barely-perceptible change that in my opinion is not worth the cost (and slight risk) of the surgery. 75cc will make a visible difference, but a subtle one. If you're buying new implants anyway, I would consider going to a moderate plus rather than a high profile implant, which will also help your "stick out way too much" appearance. The combination of both size and profile change will make all the difference, and will significantly diminish your concerns. You won't go down a full cup size with 75cc, but with size plus projection change, I believe your look will be excellent, and you will not require or benefit from a lift.Please also realize that every patient is her own worst critic--no one else will look at you and say anything but "Wow; you look fabulous, dahling!" Also, healing, settling, and softening are not complete until 6-12 months post-op. Let this time pass to both to see how things change further before you decide exactly what you want, and how you feel about your look then. In the meantime, do not stress over this--you DO look great and should enjoy it, even if you do decide to tweak things down the road. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
