Just wondering if after the last fill you can change your mind and go smaller before the last overfill?

this last fill has really been painful and now I am wondering if I should go smaller? My last fill was last thursday and they still hurt and are under my arm. Even having shoulder aches. I think I am filled to 500cc/ I am tall and weigh about 180.

    I would think so. You should call the PS to let them know how you are feeling and what your thinking is on the size. Let us know how you make out.

    With my PS, it was a week by week decision and I stopped at 480cc. Then at exchange, she placed a 425 gr Allergan 410 anatomical implant. I'm 5'10" tall and 165#. It's perfect for me and I couldn't be happier

    Hi, I was told throughout the process that if I was ever too uncomfortable the ps would take some fluid out. I was also assured that if the tissue expander was the appropriate size upon insertion, I has some flexibility in permanent implant size. For example, my ps put in a tissue expander that could accomodate C-D. I also have had problems the last 2 fills, I was very clear today that I did not want to go up beyond a C. I would call your plastic surgeon and just give him/her the heads up. This way they can measure you and order the appropriate implants, if not stored on site. Please let us know how it goes.
