I have high profile implants I just feel like they are too wide for my frame. Will downsizing help or should I go down in a profile ?
Answer: Size I believe this is a quite stable and adequate result. High profile implants have a narrow base width for the amount of projection. Downsizing in total volume may help but then further pocket adjustments must be made. I would wait until you are at least 1 full year from the surgery to evaluate the outcome and consider any other surgery.

Answer: BA results Dear Bells1234555, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Implants too wide? Will downsizing help? Your single photo does not provide complete information, but it does suggest that you have had a good aesthetic outcome from your surgery. An incomplete answer to your question is that a smaller implant at the same volume will have a lesser diameter. Downsizing the profile with the same volume will have the opposite effect, i.e. a wider diameter. It appears that a return visit to your surgeon is indicated. He or she can best review option with you.

Answer: Smaller implants From your photograph, your breasts are wider than your chest wall. Your implants will descend inferiorly and laterally over time. You need smaller implants. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Downsize Width of implants should go by your measurements for best fit. Yours appear to have a nice result. If you feel they are too wide, smaller volume may help but you will lose some upper fullness, especially if they are gels. Going down from high to moderate profile usually gives a wider implant for the same volume so that would make your issue worse. Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended to best discuss your concerns and options.
