36 F here, no kids, 5'7 and 140 lbs. My implants are eight years old, 650 cc, smooth round silicone under the muscle. I developed a double-bubble deformity in the left breast and am now seeking a revision. I am strongly considering changing the plane to over, as I am athletic, and the animation deformity is annoying (although not a dealbreaker.) I also have plenty of my own breast tissue to hopefully achieve a natural looking/feeling result and I would be upping the size to 700-750. I am worried about rippling, however. I really don't know what to do. Surgeons have conflicting opinions. Any input would be highly appreciated. I should also point out that a lift and sizing down is not an option for me. I would rather just "buy more time" with my new set. Thank you! :)
