I'm 5'2 117 pounds. I have had 275 cc filled to 300cc round saline for nine yrs now. I have been on a consult but am a little confused on what size to go to know to achieve the size I want. I am going with silicone and have little breast tissue...which is one reason I decided on the silicone..besides the look and feel. I am currently a 34 C and would like to go up a cup size. One doc suggested 375 filled to 420 if I had saline with high profile. But with silicone she said 325 or 375.???Confused.
