Can I put in smaller implants today to replace larger implants of ten years ago without needing a breast lift?
Asked 2014-07-01
I had breast augmentation with implants ten years ago. It seems like my breasts have gotten a lot larger even though I have lost weight. I actually dislike my breasts now. If I have smaller implants put in, would I need to get a breast lift too? If I have the implants removed without replacing them, would I need a breast lift?

If you want to replace your existing implants with smaller ones, then it is more than likely that you will need a lift to keep the nipple in an aesthetically pleasing position. Other options could be to use your own fat to compensate for the lost volume, however, if you want a smaller size, it does sound like a lift will be necessary.
