When Will Breast Implant Size and Placement Changes Be Noticeable?

coco123
I have breast implants over the muscle for 10 years and they need to be replaced due to excessive rippling. Now going behind the muscle, since they apparently feel more natural and less likely to ripple again. My PS recommends going from 230 cc to 260-300cc. I like my current size. I understand having to increase somewhat going behind the muscle but don't want it to be noticeably bigger to me or especially anybody else. If he goes from 230 cc to 300 cc will it be very noticeable? At what point will an increase from 230 cc in front of the muscle to behind the muscle start to look noticeable? I'm 36 and my breasts are not especially saggy. Booked in soon and  worried. Thanks.
