Should I go bigger than C cup for breast augmentation?

I am 5'2, 110lbs, and a size 32A. How big should I go for breast implants? My husband wants me to go no bigger then a full C cup. I don't know if I should go for a C or bigger. I want it to fit just right with my body, but I also want to go a little bigger then a C cup. What would you advise?

I am 5"1" and 109. I had saline put in 7 yr's ago I had 400cc on one side and 385 on the other. I liked the way they looked. But they where hard. Then I just had them replaced due to one went flat. I had 450 gel's put in. Very soft and natural looking. We alway's want bigger. So I left it up to the doctor I wanted 500 put in but if they looked funny then go with the 450 and nothing smaller then that. I got the 450 he said the 500 was to tight to close up. So trust your doctor take a photo and let him do what he does best. Good luck..
