Tags: breasts
I have been back to see my consultant, and he has agreed that I can go up to 300cc for breast implants. I tried them on and they felt much better suited, and it was what i thought a C cup should look like. Also agreed to go under the muscle. Would high or moderate profile be better for me?

The diameter of the the implant should not exceed the width of your breast or the result may look unnatural, the implants may be too close to one another or may be too lateral, under your arm.
