5’5 135 Implant Downsize with Lift 350 to 295/265

TLDR - 350 mod+ saline implants replaced with 295 and 265 full profile silicone and a lollipop lift.

I wanted to write this review because I had trouble finding similar body types receiving similar implants to mine. I am 5’5 135 and 34D preop. my original implants are from 2010 and a 350 mod+ saline with a 12.5 cm base. One was overfilled to 375. The other was underfilled to 325. I really liked them but I’ve had two kids and breast-fed and they just started to feel heavy, matronly and saggy. I met with several surgeons and all of them mentioned that the implant was slightly too wide for my frame which surprised me because I consider myself to have a fairly wide upper torso. My BWD is 13.5. But after three surgeons recommending a narrower implant, I felt pretty good with the advice. I selected Dr. Malek because of his conservative approach. I had surgery yesterday and we used 295 and 265 Allergan highly cohesive full profile silicone implants (SCF). These have the same projection as my prior implants, but an 11.5 cm base. I am only one day postop, but very pleased with the results so far I will continue to post update pictures as I have them.

Post op - i have felt really good. I slept about 90 minutes and then watched the Olympics and took another nap. Slept great last night. I haven’t taken the muscle relaxer since yesterday afternoon. I’m still on hydrocodone but feeling like I can transition to Tylenol later today.
