Implant Exchange Big to Small, NO LIFT. 425cc Saline to 275cc High Profile Silicone. - Columbia, MO

thanks. They were Mentor 375cc saline overfilled to 425 and now they are Mentor silicone 275cc High profile. Like them a lot. Now they don't fell like they are up in my armpits and are a lot softer.

Hope all goes well!! Good luck!

Thanks so much! It feels great to be where I am now!

I hope you get the results you want and are as happy as I am with mine!. I had my last follow up with my PS today. The measurements are a whole lot smaller but it feels so different without them up on my chest and in my armpits! My nipples actually measured higher then they were with the 425 salines!

*measurements AREN'T a whole lot smaller.

another downsizer! imtrying to book for jan to go from 400 to 200 range. keep us posted! do you have a review up?

Sgfit, I'm going through the exact same thing as you. I got 400cc in November and I'm planning on exchanging them for 200cc as well. My doctor said she can't do it till In 3 months. It's only been one month and I'm severely depressed. I don't know how I'm going to make it till February. How are you coping with this? I'm so nervous and scared.

I sent you a PM :)

Difference is incredible. By feel I don't think you can tell really.

flora, if you remember thebrand and size of your salines, you can google "mentor (or allergan) saline implant dimensions" to see the diameter and projection of your implants. then you can try to find something close to the width and projection with your surgeon. They may also perform a capsullorhaphy to tighten your pocket. You don't want to go too narrow though.I am going to switch my 400cc silicone unders to 175-220cc saline unders within the next month or so. I can keep you posted, I am going to write a new topic under revisions

also, if width if more important...allergan has wider implants with less projection, mentor is the opposite. Hope that helps because you can always switch brands :)

one more thing...sorry! Its good to see that you have already attempted the no implant route and feel you are not happy because I was contemplating completely removing but just a month or two ago I reconsidered to just downsizing because I was afraid I would not be ready for no implants anymore. I think I am doing the right decision for me. I really appreciate your help!! I also should have realized before I was writing the other post. If your implants are out, you probably dont have a capsule anymore which mean they could not perform a capsullorhaphy, however if you wait about 4 months or so, your breast pocket should heal and your surgeon can find your BWD and recommend the smallest implant possible. 300 isnt large so even going 175 200 should be OK for your breast. It is a better option to remove fully, heal them reimplant because you are started fresh, unlike me, the surgery is more detailed because we are trying to guess essentially where to go for width.

I just posted after pics. I did not have anything done but them swapped for smaller. I chose as High profile to try to take up more space that was left in the pocket from the larger implant. They even make an Ultra High profile. This take up more space in outward then side to side. Now I don't feel like they are up in my armpits!

Kristina, your after pics look fantastic! They look so natural and not to big. I am hoping for a small C full B would be ideal. I have no implants now and I am beyond depress. My breast are not pretty and caved. I want to go a lot smaller so I need to find a ps that will deliver as good as results as yours. Congrats!

Sgfit, yes, I would love for you to keep me posted. I am starting to do a lot of research before I go under again. I would really love to be a full B maybe small C. I did not have my capsule removed as my ps didn't think I needed to. I am trying really hard to patient but it is so hard.... If you see my after photos you will see why. I had terrible results after removal. I will say that I am very happy with feeling a lot smaller just not with the way they look. I guess I can have my cake and it it too! :( Once you implant it is a life time commitment (for some women).

Thanks. Ask around for referrals in your area and wait until you have a good feeling about the ps. I went to several and that is how I chose this one. It is worth the extra time in the long run. Good luck! Hope you find someone soon!

?

did he perform a capsullorhahpy to tighten the pocket?

No he didn't. We felt like doing less was probably less risky so going high profile seems to have filled it up enough to not sag. If I had realized they even had ultra high pro I would have chose that just to be sure but so far they look great! I wanted a more natural look and not the feeling like I was carrying around footballs in my bra which I think we achieved but I'm going to give it one more week before taking picks to make sure they are where they will stay. I'm measuring a half inch smaller on each side. Hope this helps you. Before having it done I didn't find any experience that were like I wanted to have done. No lift, just simply an exchange for smaller size.

me too! i have 400ccs and want to go to as small as i can with out lookibg silly. u hope we xan go for 200 moderate profile. i heard i may need a capsullorhaphy because its a large jump. are yoy saline?
