Breast implant revision augmentation and going larger

There are numerous increased risks associated with this, and I am sure I will not even touch on half of them, but consider the following.

A bigger implant is not the solution for droopy breasts

You mentioned that your your nipples have 'shifted down' after pregnancy- I would bet that you probably need a breast lift- a larger implant is going to push your nipple position even lower, and will look worse.

Can't answer your question

The only way to even give you any answer is with a photo of you. There is just no way with the numbers to tell if this will be too big for you as it all depends on what you look like and what you want to look like. Also,
