Trying to sort out size of implant required to go down 1 1/2 sizes ? Will I need 250cc? 200cc ? to achieve a large C? Will I need a lift regardless of size of new implant? If a lift is needed, is there a minimally invasive approach WITHOUT the linear scar from the nipple down? can it be done effectively through the areola? What are the differences b/w the types of lifts? Is it better to be conservative and reduce less and if neccessary reduce additionally in the future?

Answer: Breast Implant Revision with Breast Lift and Smaller Implants Thank you for your question.This might not be what you want to hear but you will likely need down sizing of your implants and a full breast lift with all three incisions.NippleVerticalHorizontalThe only way to get rid of the extra skin is to get rid of the skin.To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Answer: Implants too large. Was 34B, 350 silicone. Now 34DD. HATE them. Do I need a lift? How much to downsize to be a large C? Your breasts look large, pendulous and they are low lying on your chest wall. 350cc is about 11/2 cup size. You might do better with removal of the implants and a breast lift. Unfortunately, you are not a candidate for a periareolar lift, and do not let anyone talk you into one. If you hate your breasts now, wait until you'll see the periareolar lift result... I would recommend a vertical lift, which will control the shape of the breasts and areolae. BTW, I would suggest liposuction for your axillary fullness and lateral chest wall. One can also add fat to the breasts, after or during your breast lift procedure.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast surgery for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
