Risk of High-profile Saline Breast Implants Pushing out over Time?

JennaL
I am an A cup (12.5 width) and I wanted to go with about a 425cc saline implant. I know that in order to do this I would most likely have to get high-profile saline implants to achieve this size. However, I have heard that the chest muscles push these implants out and away from the center over time. What is the risk of this happening? Would it be better to go with a tear drop-shaped implant instead, or is the high-profile saline still the best choice?
