I Am Wanting to Have Large Implants Exchanged for Smaller Ones, What About the Risk of Loose Skin?

Yes, it is possible to #increase your implant size with a #revision. However, the #pocket will need adjustment and a lift may be necessary; to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity.Your procedures should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for further revision surgeries. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Thank you for inquiry.Your
first step is to be properly examined by a Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon.He/She will be able to tell you
if it is feasible for you to get smaller implants without any lifts or internal
sutures.They will have to check for
several things.For instance, if you
have stretch marks on your breasts, this might be an indication that you have
some skin laxity.They would have to see
how much smaller you want to go with your size and what your nipple position is
currently and if that will change with the smaller implants.So, I think a consultation with your Plastic
Surgeon is indicated here to accurately answer your question.

When breast augmentation patients are unhappy with
breast size, the majority would like to have larger implants.It’s unusual for patients to want smaller
implants, but never the less this occasionally does happen.This may occur for a variety of reasons, but
when it does happens, it represents a surgical challenge.Although these cases are challenging, with
careful attention to detail, results can still be excellent.The
presence of larger implants results in stretching of the overlying soft tissue
and increased breast pocket size.When
undergoing removal and replacement with smaller implants, these issues must be
dealt with to obtain an optimal result.In some cases, the breast pocket will need to be adjusted to avoid
excessive implant displacement.This
type of movement can be minimized by utilizing implants with wider base
dimensions.This will also tend to
create a more natural appearance and will hopefully address this concern as
well.Breast
size is also an important issue, but discussion is always difficult because cup
size means different things to different people.For this reason, we strive for harmony,
balance and proportion when selecting breast implants.It’s
important to discuss all of these issues with your plastic surgeon before
proceeding with this procedure.With
careful attention to these details results can be excellent.
