Asked By:FDiana in Romania, RO

I'm 5'4" and 135 pounds. I'm considering getting breast surgery and after looking up information on the internet for some time i finally decided to go to a consultation, I was thinking of getting around 450cc silicon implants but my doctor said he won't be able to go larger then 300cc and he might not even be able to do that, he says it's because i don't have enough skin. I go to the gym a lot and i am lean, my upper body has always been fairly lean.
