Maximum Size Implant After Bottoming out?

2 years ago I had 345cc implants and full anchor uplift in the UK. I bottomed out pretty soon after so my surgeon performed the same operation 12 mths after (removing more skin). The same thing has happened again so I am having an internal bra (i.e. internal sutures) in a few weeks time (in the US). My question is, at 164 pounds and 5ft 10", am I able to go up to a 525-650cc implant without bottoming out again. Will there be sufficient support or will they sag again? Thank you
