Will my Breasts Sag if I Reduce Implant Size. Side Breast Too Big?

Sometimes, when patients undergo revisionary breast surgery to downsize breast implants, closing off the breast implant pockets on the sides will help decrease the appearance of “side breast”.  This procedure, capsulorraphy ( involving the use of internal sutures), serve to prevent the movement of the breast implants to the sides.

 Discuss this option with your plastic surgeon to see if it applies to your situation.

 Best wishes.

     The more the volume is reduced the more likely that a breast will need to be lifted.  This is hard to predict with significant volume changes in borderline cases.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and breast augmentations each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Obviously there are exceptions the most the time when breast implant size is decreased a mastopexy unnecessary. Obviously this is a function of the total volume change. Your plastic surgeon should be able to give you a better idea after examination.
