Asked By:Bethw in Rockville, MD

Hello, I had my BA 14 yrs ago, 425cc HP saline unders, 34yrs old now, petite, 5'-0”, 99 lbs. I would like to switch to silicone because I would prefer the natural feeling of silicone now that I am older plus I believe I am near the end of my implant's life. My ps is recommending a 500cc HP silicone implant. However, I wonder, will a 75cc increase be noticeable? I would like a little more fullness in the middle area. Or, should I go 525cc (100cc, as I have read is the minimum increase)?
