I recently deflated 375cc saline implants. My breasts are asymmetrical, mainly for that reason I would like to reimplant with a very minimal amount of volume. I am not having a lift. I have asked for the smallest possible implant. Due to my measurements the smallest implants for my frame are low profile 145/165 cc's. Im terrified of looking too big. I am a B cup now with deflated implants, with previous 375cc's I was a D or DD. About how many cup sizes will I increase? Does low profile make a difference

Answer: Will a 150cc low profile silicone implant make me look too wide? Thank you for your questions and picture. A low profile implant will not be too wide as long as as it fits the base width of your breast. But I have another thought for you. If you want your implants removed, then why place another implant? If you have some minimal asymmetry that you would like to correct, but you are happy with your breasts otherwise, then you should consider fat grafting to the breast. This would allow a natural correction of the asymmetry with fat grafting without the need for implants and is ideally suited for small volumes like this. Make sure you talk to a local board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this option.Hope this helps!

Answer: Downsizing implants Thanks for posting this question. Usually one letter cup size either way will equate to about 100 cc difference in volume. In your case 175 cc should roughly be about a B cup, down from a D cup. My greatest concern is how much loose skin will shrink back to minimize drooping after your downsizing your implants. You may eventually require a lift to restore a more youthful shape and "perkiness" to your breasts. Hope this helps! Good Luck. Dr. B
