Im 5’1” 118lbs. 3 months ago I had a breast augmentation. I received 350 cc high profile silicone unders. I love the shape and how they sit but now Im wishing they were larger. I would like to go up another full cup size. Will 450-500 give me another full cup? And is it safe? Will this lead to a higher risk of complications? I have had an excellent recovery with little discomfort and no complications.

Answer: Upsizing Breasts already look large for your frame, but not unacceptably so. In my opinion upgrading to 500 cc we'll make it look way too big and furthermore cause unacceptable risk, both in the short-term and long-term. You look good, let the tissue stretch and the result mature for several months in the meantime.Best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmention in petite frame Based on your photo, I would not recommend upsizing. They currently look very full, and your shape will not be entirely the same if you upsize. While there is no direct translation of cc to cup size, on average 150-200 cc will add a cup size, and if the breast width is narrow, the cup size can go up with less than 150 cc. The larger the implants the greater the risks of complications, and in a petite person 350 cc is already a nice full size, and 500 cc would be considered a large implant for your frame. This will put greater stress on your skin and tissue, and you may notice drooping or sagging sooner, or be at risk for bottoming out, or developing stretch marks. This is in addition to the other risks like capsular contracture, etc. Also, with this size you could play them up or down with whatever type of bra you choose, whereas with 500 cc they will be more "on display" at all times, and it may be harder to find clothing that fits well. In the end, it is really a personal decision what breast size you find most attractive, but to answer to your question, yes, you would have a higher risk of complications.
