Hello I currently have 415 mentor xtra high profile implants ive always felt like they are too big for me. I am 5”3 115 lbs. i am schedule for an exchange. I want to go smaller with a more natural feel. I have decided on smooth moderate plus xtra profile I don’t seem to have too much tissue or sag but I hope I can do this without a lift. Would a 270 cc or 295 cc implant be reasonable and subtle yet still full enough? Thank you in advance for your input.
Answer: Downsizing your implants? Thank you for your question. I've noticed a significant increase in patients who are now considering downsizing the implants in my practice in the past 12 months. You should have hardly any laxity and providing the new implants has a similar width to the old implants, I believe that the choice you made with your surgeon seems adequate. Obviously, my advice is only day is that what you say and ideally at least photographs with the help however I'm sure you are in good hands.

Answer: Down sizing my implants It is not unusual to downsize if you feel you are somewhat large. Obviously, everybody is different and has different desires. Decreasing from 415 to the high 200s would not be unreasonable. However a good discussion with your plastic surgeon is necessary. The diameter of a smaller implant plays a role in this. The moderate plus extra implant will probably help with superior fullness that may be lost when decreasing from a 415 mL implant. However the smaller diameter of that implant may allow the implant to sit more laterally, i.e., more space in the cleavage area. Typically, depending on the patient, I may place internal sutures on the outer areas of the pocket to push the implants somewhat more medially to improve cleavage. At consultation, your plastic surgeon will take into account your height, weight, pre-existing breast tissue volume in addition to implant sizes to help you determine which technique best achieve your goals.

Answer: Implant size Exchanging your implants from 415cc to 270 or 295cc should give you a conservative decrease. You still should have a moderate increase from your natural breast size. Your surgeon will help you select the implant that is right for you based on your measurements and surgical goals.

Answer: Implants The size you want would fit your frame much better and be more comfortable than what you currently have. However, the final size can be determined during the consultation.

Answer: Reducing implant size I feel like you are making a wise choice. I do think this will be a notable difference for yourself, still leaving the benefit of an implant. I would assure that the new implant size/profile is a good fit with your breast measurements and I feel like you will be very satisfied with the outcome.
