I have 300cc saline implants under muscle for 18 yrs. I have capsular contracture Grade II left & Grade III right. Having surgery to have a capsulectomy & replace implants with Sientra Round Textured Silicone under muscle. I want bit fuller & natural looking. PS suggested 355cc (account for loss from capsulectomy & silicone tends to look a bit smaller). I chose 385cc, but worried it m too big? I have little breast tissue. 5'2" 115lbs. had 2 kids since 1st breast aug. Advice pls?
