I Want to Increase my Size from 600cc's to 800 Cc's after Losing Weight, Good Option?

I am 5'6" 130lbs I have 600cc's now and wanting to increase to 800cc's. I like them now but I since I have had them I have lost more weight and see them getting looser and when I lay down they fall under my arm and I look flat chested??? Is that common or can that be corrected with larget implants? What is usually the cost to upgrade or a revision? I asked for 800cc's when I got these done and came out with only 600cc's?? and my breat falling to the side under my arm pit normal? Thanks Hellinia

Larger Breast Implants after Losing Weight?

Thank you for the question and pictures. It is difficult to give you accurate advise without direct examination and/or viewing photos without clothing.

Larger implants not advised

Larger implants (which are wider than the breast diameter) lead to a significant increase in problems (bottoming out, implant visability, capsular contracture, etc.).
