Mini breast implants after breast implant removal 3 years ago? (Photos)

Hello!
You would certainly be a candidate for a smaller implant, with a petite frame. I also think you would have a nice improvement with tightening of the nipple areolar complexes to reduce the loose surrounding skin of your breasts. This procedure is also known as periareolar mastopexy or donut mastopexy. This would freshen the appearance of the nipples.
I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon who will size you so you can understand your eventual outcome with particular implants.

Why did you remove the 300 cc implants in the first place? You may be happy with a smaller less projecting implant. Another option is fat grafting for slightly more volume, although it may need to be repeated.

Hello Dear @Enya2000 I appreciate your question. If there was an implant removal procedure before the patient can contemplate the two options, taking into account the reasons for the implant removal. If the motives for the removal were related to health or clinical, having breast implants again is not an option. The other option is to consider enhancing volume and projection of the breast with a breast fat transfer. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Thank you for your pictures and questions. The quick answer is YES! You are a great candidate for placement of a small implant for shape and volume. I would also suggest a small peri-areolar lift to tighten the skin around the nipple and make the nipple slightly smaller. This would give you an overall more perky appearance and I think would meet your goals while avoiding your fears. Make sure you are seeing a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is experienced with revision breast surgery.
Good luck!

Dear Enya2000,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Yes, it may be possible to place smaller implants that better fit your body frame, and expectations, but the best recommendation can only be done after an in-person examination and thorough discussion of your goals.

Hello,
And thank you for the question and photos.
Following removal of breast implants without replacement, a patient may choose one of two options: do nothing and see how much the skin retracts and then decide about fat grafting or breast lift at a later point, or undergo a breast lift and fat grafting at the same time.
You appear to be a good candidate for donut (peri-areolar) breast lift which will place your nipples in correct position and create a more youthful breast shape. Breast implants or fat grafting can be added for additional volume.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz

Thanks for your question. If you do not choose an implant that is big enough to fill the sagging skin, then your breast may still sag. You can also have a breast lift following your augmentation, if your breasts still seem too saggy. I suggest you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.
Best of luck!

Yes, you can go down to 150 cc's in size, but 200 cc's might be better, and do a lift if needed. You may only need the peri-areolar incision for the lift.
