Would Mentor boost implants help me achieve natural full results with 300 - 400 cc's?

Question

I am 39, 2 pregnancies, bf, weight loss, 5'5, 130lbs, loose skin. I do not want a lift and am ok with some sag since natural breast are not high up. I also did not like teardrop implants. I tried on mentor's siltex round implants 300ccs and loved them. But I am afraid of the cancer risk w/ a textured implant. Would mentor boost be a good option for me? I want a natural full result 300-400ccs.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Dear Exciting,
Although you are, and should be aware of the risk of BIA-ALCL with textured breast implants, you should also be aware that the risk with Mentor siltex texturing is somewhere in the range of 1 in 80,000.  With that being said, you can achieve a nice result with round, smooth implants in the range of 300-400cc and in general, higher profile implants such as Boost provide a little more lift to the nipple if placed correctly.  Good luck!
