Asked By:Pioneering1866 in Saint Augustine, FL

I discussed my goals.. More Upper Pole & more Projection and firmer implant. Doctor is suggesting a 2 inch increase in projection. A more firm implant and greater upper pole. This is an implant replacement. Last implants were put in 33 years ago behind the mussel. 325CC. I have went from a size C after first surgery 33 years ago to now a DD. I have gained 20 pounds since my first surgery. I am 63 years old. 5'4 130 lbs.
