I am interested in exchanging my implants for a smaller size

I am interested in exchanging my implants for a smaller size or having them removed all together. I feel I look too top heavy. My surgeon has advised against this and says the appearance afterward would not be satisfactory so I am wondering if I could have a minor breast lift performed at the same time to improve the appearance and what exactly would a minor lift entail?

My breasts are about two cup sizes different.

My breasts are about two cup sizes different. Is it possible to get a breast reduction in just the larger breast? Will health insurance cover this?

I have a couple of questions about fat transfer being used for breast augmentation.

I have a couple of questions about fat transfer being used for breast augmentation. I hear that it is being done more and more now in the US and that it is possible to increase the breast about one breast size with fat injections. Can this be a good procedure for someone with small to medium sized breasts that are somewhat deflated a little droopy from pregnancy? What sort of result could be expected? How long do the results last? If the fat does eventually fade, will it leave any sort of negative appearance to the breast more than how they looked originally?

I am wondering if I am a better candidate for liposuction

I am wondering if I am a better candidate for liposuction of the abdomen or a tummy tuck, either a full or mini tuck. I do not have that much of a belly, maybe just a small little pocket of fat, which makes me think that liposuction would be sufficient, however, I do have a lot of stretch marks.

I have heard that this is good for working on large areas. Is this a choice for the thighs or would another technique be better?
