Question

I have 330cc implants (filled 390cc and 375cc) and it took me from a full B/small C to a fullD/DD. This is just too big and I want to be more at a C-cup. I have a slim frame (32D) 5'6" 115lbs. By reducing the amount of cc, is it likely they will wrinkle? I don't want the "lollipop" look. How many cc's do I need to remove to take me to a C-cup? Is it more safer/more effective to get a whole new pair of implants?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You  say you currently have 330 cc implants which are overfilled quite a bit. I think you can  reduce each implant  50  cc's without too much concern over rippling. this is especially true if you have high profile implants, which tend to ripple less than low or moderate profile ones. I realize that you and your surgeon would like to avoid having to buy a new set of implants, and I think it will work just fine for your situation.  Regarding what size you will be  and whether you will be happy with the size change, that is all subjective, but it is simple enough to do and can even be done under local anesthesia in about half an hour. I say give it  a try even though  most of the other surgeons who answered this question seem to disagree with me.

In most cases, you need to decrease the implant size by 100-125cc to notice a change in cup size. If you choose to do so, you may have excess stretched skin from the prior larger implants. I would talk with your surgeon to discuss your implant size.

Hello,

	A 50 cc implant fill difference will be pretty small in your case. Perhaps discuss with your surgeon what he or she advises to get you where you would like to be.

The reduction of 50 cc  from your current breast implant is not likely to get you to a C-cup. The safer bet would be replacement of the altogether witha smaller one perhaps a 275 cc range. The smaller implant will help prevent a ripple.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Thanks for the great posted photos. 50 cc's will not change the cup size to a C-cup. You need smaller/new implants in the 250 cc range. Follow up would be nice.
