10 yrs. ago, I had 390cc Implants. I am an athletic 140 lbs 5'4" female. I want small athletic breasts. I'm debating moderate 225cc or 250cc Saline under the muscle. I prefer to err on the side off small. My PS feels 250cc are better. I fear that's too big? What are your thoughts?

The difference in dimensions between the 250cc and the 225cc are; 4 millimeters in width and just one millimeter in projection. Even though the differences are minimal, you should go with your gut feeling. The only reason not to is if your plastic surgeon says you need that little... more
