Hate Being 34DD Wanted to Be 34C. Wish to Downsize 3yr Implants from 450ccs to at Least 300ccs? (photo)

Nobody can predict the future with absolute accuracy, and therefore nobody can tell you with certainty that you will or will not "heal fine".  Every procedure is accompanied by risk, including aesthetic risks, implant related risks, and medical risk.  You look very nice from every direction shown.  My recommendation would be to keep current implants unless you are absolutely miserable with them.  Both size and shape are superb.

It is certainly feasible to #downsize to smaller implants and also alter the positioning; if possible. However, decreasing is size may also require a Breast #Lift to to #tighten loose skin, better optimize the end result. Any #revision has risks of unhappy outcome or other complications. Also, the right implant for the revision is contingent on shape of body and your desired outcome. Additional elective cosmetic #surgery is a personal choice. Your procedures should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.

I agree with the surgeons you have already seen.  In your case you should be able to switch to smaller I plants without a lift and no special work done on the pocket.

Hello,

It is not uncommon to see women wanting to downsize their implants.  Motives that drove the surgeon to place implants that were ultimately too large range from patient demands to drooping breasts that 'needed' a large implant.  Regardless, the task of the surgeon is now to make the breast smaller and also preserve or enhance it's shape.

The volumes you mentioned (420 filled to 450) sound like either a Natrelle moderate profile implant filled to capacity, or a Mentor high profile implant filled to the low end of it's available range (420 to 500).  Which one it is may influence the type of implant that will be chosen, however, I agree the new size should be 150 cc (or 25%) less volume than you have now.

It is always challenging to look at photos and make this sort of prediction, but I believe that you will not need a lift.  There does appear to be some discrepancy in the position of your nipples which may be photographic artifact or the real situation.  If that is the case, a discussion should be had regarding it's correction if possible.  Frequently internal pocket adjustments are made to accommodate the smaller implant as well.

Best of luck!

 

 

Thank you for the pictures.  It is hard to assess the quality of your skin but from the pictures it looks in good condition.  When downsizing implants you should expect a little sagging, one way to correct this is with a periareolar mastopexy.  This will tighten the skin and decrease the diameter of your areola.  I hope this helps you.

Kindest regards
