I got breast implants about a year and three months ago and they are still sore and I think they are to big. I went from being a 32 A to a D and in some bras a DD. I said I didn't want to be any bigger than a C cup and he said that a 350 cc filled to a 380 would be perfect but I would like to go down a cup size but I don't want to get a lift.

Answer: Downsizing breast implant size without a lift
It is possible to go down in implant size without having to do a lift. It really depends on whether or not you needed a lift to start with, have had drooping since the augmentation, and the quality of your skin. If you have good skin quality and breast tissue, and no drooping, you may not need a lift. You can exchange the implants and then allow time for your own tissues to tighten around the smaller size. If you have drooping or stretch marks or thin skin, you may need a lift at the same time. Also, in terms of implant sizes and cup size- there is no direct conversion of volume to cup size. A general guideline is that every 150-200 cc adds one cup size, so if your augmentation is with 380 cc, you can reasonably expect to go from an A to a C. Like I said though, this is not a direct conversion, and factors such as the width of your breast and chest wall, amount of native breast tissue, shape of chest wall, skin quality, etc all factor into what size you will be. So a 380 cc implant on you can look completely different than the same implant in another woman. Also, cup size varies depending on the brand of bra, so while you may be a D or DD in certain brands, you will be a C in others.

Answer: Size change and breast revision
the volume changes with chest size. see my previous posts.
a 32 usually requires about 250=-275 to get to a c cup
34 300-350
36 350-390
it may be possible to change the size and fix the pocket internally
