Too large? If I went down in cc in the high profile would it be more in my frame and not as wide? (Photo)

The volume (500 cc) and the diameter (13 cm) doesn't match any implant in the Xtra catalog for either moderate plus or high profile. Regardless, by holding the diameter to around 13, just going from a high profile to mod plus will drop the volume by 100 to 150 cc, which would be a 20-25% reduction in volume, a small but appreciable drop in size. If you wanted to also reduce breast width, you'll need a smaller diameter implant too, which would drop volume by roughly 200 cc, and be around a 40% reduction, a medium reduction in size. Do not stay with high profile with a significantly smaller implant, it will be too narrow and ball shaped in appearance; a mod plus will look better.

Dear Bells1234555,
implant profile is a very important consideration. Many patients wrongly assume that the higher the profile the better. The truth is, the more profile (or projection/height) and implant has, the narrower its base has to become. This has several problematic consequences. The first is that the patient loses width and therefor cleavage of the breast. The second is the breast becomes more narrow and pendulous, often falling lateral and onto the side of the chest, and third, high profile implants have a higher risk of bottoming out because they exert more pressure on the inframammary fold than moderate profile implants. High profile implants do have a role in symmastia repair (when I need to narrow the basewidth) but otherwise I try to avoid them.

I recommend a circumareola approach to lift the nipple-areola complex higher and more centrally to increase your cleavage. I also recommend smaller implants and plication of the pockets inferiorly and laterally to bring the breasts up and in.

Best Wishes,

I think you would look very nice with smaller implants. Depending on how small you want to go, it might change whether to use moderate plus or high profile implants. I think that the high profile style would be less wide for you and therefore compliment your body shape better, but an in-person discussion with your surgeon should allow him/her to describe what each change in size and profile would look like. Then you can make the most informed decision about which one to choose. Hope that helps. Best of luck!

Yes, go smaller because you are bottoming out from the weight of your heavy implants. Plus, they have stretched and thinned your own tissue. Consider going to 350 cc's, and you may need mesh for support. This size will fit your frame much better. A moderate plus profile will also look nice.

Dear Bells,
Your breasts look fantastic. They are natural looking and well proportioned to your frame. You can always go to a more narrow, smaller breast implant, but expect that you may need some internal capsule work and may lose some cleavage. Good luck!

To begin with, I would recommend you consider not having another surgery, since your result is very acceptable. But your happiness is Paramont. I would exchange your implants to the 400 430 cc range of the mentor boost implants high profile. Also would do a lateral capsule fee repair to tighten the lateral pocket so you have less displacement laterally. expect fees to range from $8000-$12,000. Best virtual consult with.

Breast augmentation outcomes are based on three variables.
The first is the patient candidacy for the procedure. The second choice of implants in regards to size shape and type.
The third is the surgeons ability to place the implant in the correct anatomic location.
Hiring plants have more projection in a smaller diameter.
Think of a low profile implant, as looking like the pancake and a high profile implant, looking like a tennis ball in the most extreme forms.
Some plastic surgeons are better than others at guiding patients through the implant selection process to some degree. This is also true for the other aspect of the procedure.
If your implants are too big, then you should consider downsizing sooner rather than later.
Changing implants is best God within the first few weeks of the procedure if the patient is clear about being unhappy with the size.
If not done within the first six weeks, it should be done after six months.
It’s difficult to give you a quality assessment based on the information provided.
Always include before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the pictures they took.
There is nothing obviously wrong with your augmentation.
Ideal size is somewhat subjective.
Follow up with your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns with him or her.
Alternatively, schedule in person second opinion consultation with other plastic surgeons in your community.
Best,
