I had 300 cc saline implants filled to 325 in 2007 and have to redo due to deflation of one side. I was not happy with the size making me only a 34B/ small C. This time around I want more fullness and switching to silicone. Will 375 cc or 400 cc moderate plus give me the fullness that I want? I am 5'1 115 lbs. and was a small A before BA. I would like to end up with a full C/small D.
