I'm 19 years old, and I currently have 1300ccs over the muscle, I got them done on April 12th 2017, I've come to hate how they look and feel, I'm looking to downsize to achieve my goals( picture in white bikini.) but I do not want a vertical scar from the lift, a lot of the doctors I've had a consult with .want to do a standard lift. Please advice me on what can be done to get me the results I want and if a lift around my areola would suffice and how many ccs I would need, I'm 5ft10 and 138 lbs

Answer: Large implants I agree that the idea approach would be to include a lift as wel, but you don't have to. Simply replacing the implants with smaller one will be better than what you have now. If you decide later to have them lifted that's possible as well.

Answer: Extreme implant size You're a beautiful girl and I agree this implant choice was a mistake. Not only is the implant size extreme, but placing that size implant above the muscle puts extraordinary stress on your skin and your own breast tissue. Actually, I am really disappointed a plastic surgeon would do this at all. (This leads me to so many questions- Was the surgeon a plastic surgeon? Was it a board certified plastic surgeon? Are they stacked implants? Was it done outside of the US?) It's our duty as plastic surgeons to keep our patients safe, and at this stage I would not even recommend replacing the implants just yet. I would recommend removing them right away and allowing your tissues to heal and shrink back down before entertaining any additional surgery. At your age, if your tissue is in good condition, you can expect it to contract after the implants are removed. How much it will contract, only time will tell. Once the skin has contracted, you can be then be re-evaluated to see if a lift is needed, and if you want to increase the size, I would recommend placing the implants below the muscle, and a smaller size. I realize this sounds conservative, and probably not what you want to hear, but I think it would ultimately yield the best results. Also, please note this recommendation is based just on the photos, and for an actual plan or recommendation, an in person consultation would be required.
