I have 350cc Moderate Plus Silicone breast implants now, with 32 Full C bra size. I love my breasts' width now, but they look small from the side angle. I want more upper pole/ front projection, but don't want HUGE breasts.I'm thinking of switching to 400-425cc HP Silicone. On the Mentor chart, 350cc Mod+ has 12.5 cm with 3.9 cm projection; 425cc HP has 12.5 cm with 5.0 cm projection. Do you think I could get a better projection but still look natural with 425cc HP? Can HP implant cause bottoming out? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
