I got saline breast implants (350cc) 4yrs ago when i weighed 120lbs. I gained 30lbs in the last 3yrs, & over the last 4 months, lost the weight & now i weigh 113. I can move the bag around, and it hurts. & when i bend over, they feel squishy like they've lost fluid & they arent firm. why is this?

Your saline implants could be filled to the 390 maximum volume, but the difference you see would be minimal and probably not worth another surgery and the risk to you and the implant. If you want to bigger, you probably need to use a bigger implant.
