\"\"Photo Credit: Courtesy of Artem Bruk\/Shutterstock<\/span>For many years, breast augmentation<\/strong><\/a> patients often sought results with a \u201cbigger is better\u201d mentality. Large implants were used to provide a result that drastically increased the size of their breasts. More recently, the \u201cbigger is better\u201d phenomenon has been replaced with an interest in a more \u201cnatural or subtle\u201d appearance when it comes to plastic surgery outcomes. Even celebrities, such as the Kardashians, have espoused this new idea, with many of them having slimmed down significantly using a variety of methods. As a result, patients who previously had large implants placed now want to downsize their implants or remove them altogether to achieve a natural-looking aesthetic. More and more patients have come to my practice seeking to have these surgeries and in this article, we will describe the details.<\/p>\n

What are some common reasons individuals provide for wanting to remove or downsize their implants?<\/h3>\n

There are various reasons why individuals may choose to remove or replace their breast implants. Some may no longer desire the augmented appearance or feel discomfort associated with the implants. Others may want to replace their implants with smaller or larger implants or improve the position of the implant along their breast. Additionally, others may experience complications, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, and need to replace their implants.<\/p>\n

Are there specific age groups or demographics that seem to be more interested in this trend?<\/h3>\n

Many of the women presenting to change\/remove implants are women in their 40s and 50s. These are typically women who had undergone breast augmentation in their 20s and 30s and wanted a larger look at that time. Now that they have matured and many have had children, they want a more natural and rejuvenated appearance.<\/p>\n
