Is 800cc a Good Idea? (photo)

LVsteph
My first surgery was 9 yrs ago and I let ppl talk me into smaller than I am happy with. I think what I have now are 300cc saline and I want to replace with 700cc-800cc silicone. I am 5'6" 136 lbs and a figure competitor, so I am very muscular and my back is wide. This wasn't the case 9 yrs ago. But am I gonna be ok if I go this big? I like the pics I see of that size but I have read some things that kinda scare me into thinking I can't go that big. Can I?
