I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago. went from a size B to D. (High profile over the muscle 375cc implants) Im still unhappy with my breasts due to the tenting in the middle as it obviously sticks out in bikinis and certain clothing, and I really wanted a natural cleavage that does not look odd.
