Is a 510cc saline implant considered large for an extremely active person? (Photo)

SchellsFeb 5, 2014
I am 5'4 150lbs, My BWD are 12.5 and 13 cm, I am a 36 band size and have approx. 250 cc of natural breast tissue. I am debating between saline smooth round moderate profile 425 filled to 475 or Saline smooth round mod+ 425filled to 510. Both reccommended buy my PS. I am removing a 310 high profile implant filled to 375 as I feel the are to small and don't fill my breast enough. I am very active with running and weight lifting and concerned 510 might be too much...... Thoughts pls!
