Breast Revision - 480cc submuscular saline implants. Is my desired size possible?

Asked By:Fearless154658 in Lewisville, Texas

I have 480cc submuscular saline implants, likely overfilled. They are 20 yrs old & too large (F cup). I want to reduce to a C/D cup. Been to multiple consults and now I’m confused. Dr #1 - would reduce pocket to desired size with sutures. Recovery time 6-8 weeks. Dr #2 - cautery method to reduce pocket but says going smaller than DD cup isn’t likely. Recovery time 6+ months. Dr #3 - would create a new pocket under muscle. Recovery time 6-8 weeks. Please help! Is my desired size possible?
