After double mastectomy & reconstruction with implants, my implants are too big. Is it possible to have smaller ones put in?

October 25, 2015
Asked By:Coco63 in Richmond, VA

Before double mascectomy I was a 32A. I'm small, 5'5" and 110 pounds. After reconstruction and implants put in 2 months ago I'm a 34C. I wanted to stay small, no larger than a 32B or 34B. Staying in the A cup size would have been fine also. I just don't know if it's possible to small again. Getting very depressed about the larger size.
