I want to downsize but don't want the "T" shape or moon incision under the breast. Original size was a small C...implants inserted are too big...I want to downsize without all of the extra scaring? Please advise?
Answer: Down sizing implants: Most likely you will not need a lift if you are going down the amount you describe. You will end up being a "smaller version" of what you are now.

Answer: Downsizing breast implants When downsizing implants, some patients will benefit from a mastopexy (breast lift). This depends on: --how much, if any, droop is present, --how much the implant size decrease/increase will be, --what the quality of the breast tissue and skin is like,--and what your goals are as far as size, shape, etc. The incisions are generally a worthwhile tradeoff for improvement in the breast shape. The type of lift depends mostly on how much droop you have. Also, it is very important to alter the breast implant pocket if needed. Most often with implant downsizing, a capsulorraphy (making the pocket smaller with internal sutures) is needed. This is essential to place the new implants in the proper place to give nice contours. Good luck. Take your time to find out what is best for you.

Answer: Downsizing Going down by about 100cc should not require any type of lifting surgery. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Downsizing breast implant surgery concerns… Keep in mind as you are thinking about your goals that sometimes adjustment of the breast implant pockets (capsule adjustments) and/or breast lifting may be necessary to achieve the outcome you are looking for. Whether or not the adjustment of the breast implant capsules or breast lifting will be necessary will mainly be dependent on your physical examination; specifically, factors such as the amount of redundant skin, quality of skin elasticity, and how much you downsize will be important.

Answer: Downsizing breast implants and a lift Reducing the size of an implant especially if it is under muscle should not require a lift (scars) unless you originally had droopy breasts. It may result in some flatness on the top, however. Best to see a plastic surgeon who will examine you and give you the best advice after the examination.
