I’m finding my breast implants a little too big. I’m wondering if it’s better just to switch to a low profile implant or to keep my moderate profile but go lower cc?

Answer: Profile The profile of the implant will only change the diameter of the implant and the projection but if you are keeping the same size of implant, a profile change will likely only make the implant 2-5 mm wider and 2-5 mm less projecting which you will really not be able to notice. In general, in order to see a smaller breast size you would have to decrease at least 75+ cc BUT then you may end up with some skin looseness requiring another breast lift. Things to keep in mind when making your decision.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
