Do I need a lift or can I get by with just replacing these 475cc under the muscle implants with 600cc ones? (Photo)

Asked By:Ailegm

Capsular contracture, is a lift necessary? Replacing implants to a bigger size. 160 pounds, 5'7". Would 600 or 60 cc silicone high profile implants and a lift be proportionate for me? Currently have 475 cc silicone implants under the muscle with small capsular contracture. One pregnancy and breastfed. Can I get by without a lift? I'm 40th are old.
