Revision from 300 Ccs Mod + to 400 Ccd Hp? (photo)

I have 300 cc mod+ silicone implants under the muscle. I was hoping for a very full C/D, but I only made it to the mid C range. I was a 34 B pre BA 5'3" 135 pounds. Not sure of my BWD, but my rib cage is 30.5". My PS commented that I couldn't go much bigger than 375 ccs without rolling into my armpits. I'd like to go up at least 100 ccs. Should I consider switching to 400 ccs HP or stick with mod +? I LOVE my look, just would like a little more of everything: side boob, and projection.

If you increase volume and go to a high profile implant there will probably be an rather harsh and (to my eye) unnatural transition in the upper pole of the breast that screams, "implants!" when you are in a swimsuit. Just because there are many such breasts everywhere you look, doesn't make them any better. Stay with your lovely result.

Switching to High Profile is a Good option

You have a nice result at this time. If you want "more of everything" you will need to go to a larger implant. How much larger is hard to determine with out getting a lot more detail from you. Your plan to go up at least 100 cc's and use a high profile implant is the right idea. I tell patients that changing implants is not worth it unless you go up at least 75 cc's. Since you are trying to increase over a half cup size you may need a little more than... more

Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with specific breast implant advise; I suggest that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon ( I preferred the use of goal pictures for this purpose). This communication process will be critical in allowing your plastic surgeons to... more
