Not happy with my 550cc breast implants, should I have them redone? (photos)

What you should do depends on your level of dissatisfaction.  Your result looks nice, symmetric, no contracture, rippling, malposition, or other issues.  Some women NEED to have more surgery because of these or other complications.  Many women desire the shape and proportion you now have, but cannot achieve it because of their body type, skin quality, or for another reason.  You're young, breasts will change, you'll need them re-done at some future time anyway.  Re-doing them carries all the same risks as the original procedure, and is costly.  My advice:  Enjoy your DDD's as long as you can.

550
cc implants weigh over 1 lb each, which stretches your skin and the implant descends.Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra
size just your cup size.If you are 32
or 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.If you are 36 or 38 each 200 cc’s of implant
corresponds to 1 cup size change.From
this, you can compute the volume required to achieve your desired goal.I recommend a circumareola approach to excise
the excess skin you have from being stretched out from over implantation.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Your breasts are large and if you feel that they are too big for you, then you can certainly have them exchanged to a smaller implant. There will certainly be costs associated with this and only your original surgeon can be expected to give any price discount for this. You will pay full price from any other surgeon. If you have these exchanged, you can also talk to the surgeon about revising your areolar scars which are unfortunately malpositioned outside of your areolas and is very visible. 

Thanks for your question and photo. I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon and express your concerns. Given that he is familiar with your case and the decision making process that was used, he would be the best person to address this. In our practice, we use the implants and have the patients try them to make the guess work minimal. Best wishes, Dr Sajjadian

Yeah, I agree they are too large.  You should downsize considerably about 375 in my opinion.  It should be a simple switch of implants with nothing else required.

   I think that a reduction in the size of your implants would be very reasonable based upon your concerns.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

HelloIn my opinion your implants look ok. If you don't like the size thats another thing you could go smaller and they will look great 2. but now as far as the contour and shape they look ok to me.What i think you should get fix is the periareolar scar.If you decide to change them this will be fix during the same surgery.Dr Gustavo Almanzar

At your age you might get away with going down to a 375cc or 400cc with no lift as your skin will "hopefully" shrink. Going much smaller and a lift needed for sure. Looks like the doc did not know how to size implants or how to keep the incision to the areola edge. The good news is you appear to have a nice shape. Best of luck and let us know what you decide to do.

Thank you for your pictures. The implants in my opinion are a bit large for your frame. Whether they're too big will be really up to you. If you have them downsized you most likely will need a breast lift to make sure that shape stays the appropriate for the smaller size.

Was your original surgeon a boarded PS, because 550 cc imp;lanes are neb=ver to be equaled to a C-cup! Cost for possible replacement would be in the $5,000 range...
