I am 38 years old, 5'9" tall and 145lbs. I had one child who breastfed. I opted for breast augmentation in 2018 using 450cc HP Mentor Smooth Shell Round Silicone Gel Implants. I have always felt they were slightly large for my body although I love them. My left breast has capsulated and I am going to have revision done next month.
