$5,600
Got breast implants with a lift in 2011 and ended up waking up to bigger breast then I envisioned. Planning to go under the knife and reducing the size of implants and get a lift. Everyone told me that if I went too small I would regret it so I leaned more toward a bigger size implant. Now I'm wishing I didn't listen to others and followed my gut.

I had a very similar situation! I got a benelli lift (awful) and my doctor gave me huge breasts I didn't want! I had my second surgery with an amazing new surgeon on 9/16 and got a full lift, pocket restitch and went way smaller. I'm thinking they'll end up a B. So sorry your surgery got rescheduled but at excited to follow your journey. I feel it's hard to find many stories of people going smaller in revisionary !

@sandiegoss If you don't mind me asking, what CCs did you end up going with?
September 26, 2016
I don't mind at all! I went from a 300cc mod high profile subglandular (was a 34D at this size) to a 295cc ultra high profile under muscle (both silicone). Bc so much skin was removed with the lift and because going under the muscle makes the implant look smaller the difference is hugely noticeable despite only 5ccs of difference between the two.

What size implant implant (cc's, HP's,etc) did you get removed and what size did you elect to have put in? I'm getting my 650cc's implants exchanged for a smaller size in march and I'm conflicted on what size to replaced them with. Thank you!

I originally had 475ccs mod profile saline. I now have 350ccs high profile silicone. They are very full and round. I still have a nice amount of clevage and my husband loves them

Surgery tomorrow
I got my surgery date moved because if I waited two months, it would interfere with school and going out of town plans. I want to thank everyone for all their posts, it has really helped with what I'm looking for. Tomorrow is surgery day and I am surprisingly not anxious or nervous at all. Maybe it will hit me in the morning. I'm so tired so all I want to do is sleep but there's so much to do to be ready for this weekend. I will post more before pictures tonight and pictures of post surgery.

yes, I felt the same that many people said go bigger cc and had really no reality of what a cc would look like. I would go smaller however, it is another expense and time off work: I also don't want any scaring . Would love to hear your feed back after surgery....

Surgery Rescheduled while IV in me
So I get to the surgery center and get all signed in. They walked me to the back and started me on a IV. I felt weird about the surgery all morning but was very at peace, a feeling I can't really describe. I'm lying there and my husband makes it back to sit with me until I got rolled back. About an hour after sitting there they told me that they had to reschedule my surgery. I was pretty upset but kept my cool. Long story short, I'm scheduled for my original date, October 14. Obviously that is what was suppose to happen so I'm okay with it all. I will upload pics of my before now so you can see what I look like. Keep in mind this is after having a child after implants (thinking I was done with kids) and losing 50 lbs.

I am so sorry that happened. Getting in the mindset that your about to go into surgery & having it canceled like that must have been horrible! I agree with you that the 1st date must have been ment to be.
I have surgery Friday & Im so anxious about it. If it got cancelled last minute I'd be a mess.
Good luck! I'll watch for your updates.

Thank you @bcbgx4 I will start to follow your updates also. And don't worry, the surgery will go great for you!!
Glad you're finally able to get the look you were seeking. Do you recall what size implants you have now? Here is a link to one of my saved Notebooks which includes women who are downsizing. Thought these might be helpful. Keep us posted on your progress of getting to your goal weight!
