Will my Breast Tissues Be Over-stretched by the Time I Downsize?
Question for Denver Plastic Surgeon Dr. John Squires about Breast Implants:
My breast implants are way to large for me. I currently have 400cc high profile implants, and I want to downsize to 250cc moderate. My doctor won’t do it for another 3 months. Will my tissues be stretched out too much by then for my smaller implant? I am young and in good shape. I wanted much smaller than what I got, maybe a nice B or small C size but I’m a D! I started with a small A.
Answer from Dr. John Squires:
In many cases, the results of breast augmentation may initially look too large and round. The shape will frequently mature into a more natural appearing breast over the first 3 to 6 months. I have seen many patients who initially thought there implants were too large who after 3 to 6 months were very happy with their appearance. However, if you are absolutely sure that the breast implants are too large for you, there is no need to wait to have them exchanged. The longer you have excessively large implants in place, the more stretching of the tissue you will see.
