I currently have subpectoral 265cc textured implants. I've had capsular contracture twice in the past. I am at removing and replacing my implants subglandular, as I am very active and do a lot of weight training. I have a lot of natural breast tissue. Sometimes my current implants feel slightly too big. If I get the same size, will they look larger being placed subglandular? I am deciding between 240 & 265cc. I know the difference is negligible, I do no want much, if any, change.

I would recommend an in person evaluation to determine what is happening. This includes examining the underlying breast fold. I would recommend seeing an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast surgery.
