17 year old implants - do I need a lift with implant exchange? (photos)

January 12, 2022
Asked By:sweetk3 in Winters, Texas

I have 17 YO mentor round smooth 350cc saline implants under the muscle. I am having a mini TT revision and ask him about implant exchange. He said that I do not need a lift but recommended a slightly larger implant with a larger pocket. Does this sound right based on my pictures? I don't want scars but also always assumed I would need a lift after breastfeeding two children. He would like to replace with a mentor silicone implant although he said he would use saline if that was my preference.
