I had breast augmentation in March ‘22. The implants I had placed are 505cc HP. I feel they are much too big for my body and are causing me back pain. Would I be able to go from 505 to 350cc without needing a lift? My goal is to have upper pole fullness.

Answer: Downsizing Breast implants Thank you for your question. It is certainly possible to downsize your breast implants. I would recommend a non surgical skin tightening method like radio frequency (ThermiTight or Bodytite) which can tighten the skin envelope so that breast lift is avoided.. I often do extra-capsular removal of the implant with redraping of breast tissue on the new implant which seems to help. Please discuss this with your plastic surgeon who can help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method If you are having back pain from the implants then I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
