Would it be possible for me to reduce my implant size on one breast without a lift? (Photo)

Question

I got a breast augmentation. The surgeon during the consult recommends a 25cc difference in size, which I agreed to. After the surgery was over I was shocked to find out that she placed 110cc size difference. I feel they are very lop sided and never agreed to this. I am 5’10, had very little breast tissue to begin with (34A). She placed 295cc on L, 405cc on R using Natrelle soft touch. Is it possible to reduce the right side to a 300 or 325 without a lift? I’ve never had children or breastfed.

Your photos suggest that you could reduce the volume without requiring a breast lift. Pre op photos would help to confirm this.

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

It would be quite beneficial to upload before photos to make the original size difference more understandable. It is difficult to determine if downsizing is even an option without having the original breast photos for comparison.

Frank Lista, MD · Answer

Hi there,
It is difficult to answer your question without a full examination. I would recommend for you to follow up with a board-certified plastic surgeon to address your current concerns. They can then go over which options are best suited for the results you wish to achieve.

Sean Fisher, MD · Answer

Yes, given your anatomy and tissue quality you should be able to downsize the right side closer to a volume match of the left breast without needing to do any sort of lifting procedure. Your surgeon may recommend internal capsule tightening or adjustments with the smaller implant based on the ultimate size selected.

Yes, you should be able to exchange the implant for something smaller without a lift. The lateral pocket could be tightened if needed. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
