Why does my surgeon say he can only go up to 350cc for my breast lift. Is this size going to be small? I'm 5'6, 150lbs size 34E

I have a lot of extra loose skin from the baby and wanted a lift and augmentation but I actually liked my boobs when they were huge. Most friends of mine got 400-550cc but no breast lift and their none of their boobs look very big. Are their limitations to the size you can use when performing an anchor breast lift? He said a 350cc May look small on someone but can look big on another person. I just assumed the bigger you are the bigger size suits your body best and both friends are under 130lbs
