I think these 250 cc mod plus implants are too big for my petite frame. They are far apart going beyond my rib cage and are placed low. The nipples are not centered but I was told that if implants were placed closer together the nipples would be more off is that so?. I wonder if the 200 moderate plus would be better for me or perhaps the xtra 215. Would the scar be lower if implant was smaller? I had hi profile 225 and that didn't work as,nipples were even more off and there was more rippling
