5'9, 153lbs. Getting cold feet, is 500cc too much for my BA? (photos)

March 12, 2017
Asked By:jewelz_1003 in Philadelphia, PA

I'm scheduled for my BA procedure in April. I have to determine my final implant size, and my PS recommended 450, 475, or 500 to obtain the look I desire. I was considering 500, since I really couldn't tell the difference when I did the rice test. However, I'm concerned about sagging due to heavy implants, and possible complications. Should go with a smaller size to get a more natural look? I am 5'9, 153 lbs, and my breasts are 14cm wide (L&R). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
