She looks good right now, but she’s also starting to realize something important: when implants are very large for your frame, they become the main focus of your body—and that can feel great at first, then change as you live with it. 

In my practice, sizing is never a surprise. We review options and confirm the plan before surgery. And when someone wants to go down in size later, it’s doable—but sometimes it also means dealing with stretched tissue and possibly needing a lift. 

One thing I can tell you after decades of doing this: I have yet to meet a patient who regretted downsizing.

If I could give you one piece of advice before breast augmentation, it would be this: vet your surgeon very carefully.

A big social media presence doesn’t guarantee surgical skill, and glamorous photos don’t tell you what the results look like across real body types. Go to the surgeon’s website. Study their before and afters. Make sure their aesthetic aligns with yours, and that the quality is consistent.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing, keep looking. Research well and you’ll make a far better decision.

A young woman chose very large implants and now she’s having regrets. The hard truth is that the only way to go smaller is surgery, which can mean implant exchange, possibly a lift, sometimes fat grafting, and often more scarring, cost, downtime, and risk.

A lot of breast augmentation comes down to taste, but human tissue can’t be stretched indefinitely. There are real consequences to overloading the breast.

That’s why planning matters. Work with a surgeon who understands breast aesthetics, measures your anatomy, respects your natural borders, and has the judgment to tell you when “too big” is too big.

If you’re planning to lose a significant amount of weight but you’re also thinking about breast augmentation, timing matters.

My advice is simple: wait until you reach your goal weight and you’ve been stable for a few months. Your breasts change during weight loss, and if you do surgery halfway through the process, the final shape often isn’t optimal and you may end up needing additional surgery later, including a lift.

Get to your stable weight first. Then we plan the right procedure for the body you’re actually going to live in.

She’s 5 months POST-OP after having the Motiva PRESERVÉ procedure. I have already performed over 100 procedures and trained multiple surgeons on this new technique. 🍒

Who is not a good candidate for Motiva Preservé?

Preservé depends on working in a very specific tissue plane above the muscle. If that plane has already been scarred from prior surgery, the technique is often not predictable.

In general, I’m cautious about Preservé in patients who have had:

* a prior above-the-muscle breast augmentation
* a prior breast reduction

Those procedures commonly scar the exact plane Preservé relies on.

A breast lift (mastopexy) is often still compatible because it’s primarily a more superficial, skin-level operation.

Every case is individualized, but the principle is simple: scarred planes don’t behave like virgin tissue, and the safest approach is the one we can execute predictably.
