Changing Your Look: Upsizing or Downsizing Breast Implants

Upsizing or Downsizing Breast Implants, Dr. Robert Kearney, La Jolla Are you thinking about changing the size of your breast implants? Whether you want a more natural look or desire a fuller silhouette, upsizing or downsizing breast implants through revision surgery is a common request among women who have already undergone breast augmentation.

Dr. Robert Kearney is a San Diego-based, double-board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced training from institutions like Vanderbilt University and a special focus on breast and cosmetic surgery. Known for staying at the forefront of surgical innovation, Dr. Kearney offers personalized breast implant revision procedures to help patients achieve the look that best suits their lifestyles and goals.

Why Consider a Size Change?

Women choose to upsize or downsize their breast implants due to personal preferences, lifestyle changes, or body changes over time. Some may find their original implants no longer suit their aesthetic goals, while others may feel discomfort or experience implant-related complications that warrant a switch.

Upsizing is often the choice for women who want more volume, cleavage, or dramatic curves. It can help enhance proportions, especially if a patient has gained weight or experienced changes in breast tissue.

Downsizing appeals to those who desire a subtler, more natural look or feel their current implants are too large for their frame or lifestyle—particularly active individuals.

What to Expect During Revision Surgery

Breast implant revision surgery is custom to your unique anatomy and goals. During the procedure, Dr. Kearney removes the current implants, adjusts the implant pocket, and inserts new implants. In some cases, additional procedures such as a breast lift may help to maintain youthful shape and skin tightness—especially when downsizing.

Choosing the Right Implant Size

Choosing the ideal size involves more than just cup size—it’s about finding the right fit for your body and desired appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Kearney will consider chest width, breast tissue, skin elasticity, and your goals. A thorough pre-operative plan helps ensure the best outcome.
