From 420cc Saline Hp to 700cc Saline Hp - Seattle, WA

I am 31 years old. 5'7", 130lbs, 10% body fat (very little natural breast tissue). In March, I went in for an implant exchange. I had saline high profile 420cc (approximately) submuscular. I was unhappy with my shape, and also wanted to go a bit bigger. The shape I was looking to have was to have more side boob. I truly hated the way my breasts looked from the side. My original implants were done well; I had no CC, no bottoming out, no lopsided or unevenness, a tiny bit of rippling (which is to be expected with saline, I am told). The cleavage was fine, they didn't touch; there was about a two finger space between them, but I was fine with that. Though they looked "fake", they didn't look like round balls attached to my ribcage.
So when I went in for my exchange with the following requests: bigger size, more side boob, and I was satisfied with my cleavage.
My new doctor suggested going with high profile saline again since I had good luck with them the first time. He said since I wanted a larger size, the width would be bigger anyways. We decided on 700cc. My current implants are mentor high profile saline 630 filled to 700cc submuscular. It's been 3 months and I've hated them everyday. Again, I've had no complications whatsoever. But I hate the placement and shape. Instead of the implants creating more fullness on the outsides like I wanted, I now have all the fullness in the cleavage area. If I look down at my cleavage, it looks like they are three inches thick on the cleavage side and about an inch thick on the outerboob side. I now have virtually no hourglass silhouette shape. My silhouette looks straight around my ribcage, almost like I have no boobs at all. But when I turn to the side, there they are!
The doctor who performed the surgery is no longer with the practice, so I've been discussing a revision with another dr in the practice. He is suggesting sientra cohesive gel textured shaped oval base in the 700cc to achieve the width and projection I desire. I'm a little hesitant since I'm having trouble finding before and afters with an oval implant. I'm just so unsure of what to do at this point, all I know is that I am so unhappy with what I have right now. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

Breast Aug- Update
It's been awhile since I've updated this. Some of you have questions, feedback and many helpful suggestions for me. So thank you to each and everyone of you. I will be writing a separate review for my newest BA, crediting the surgeon I used for the fix. Yes, I redid them. TWO in one year! But I am so very happy with my new results! I went with 800CC Silicone Gel and I love love love them!

I'm having surgery June 24th and am going back and forth between 650-700cc silicone gel ... My friends are saying I'm crazy and my boobs will be huge but when I tried on the sizers I liked the amount of side boob these gave me. What made you go from 700cc to an 800cc instead?

Honestly it was the Drs suggestion to go to that size to achieve what I wanted. Going from 700cc saline to 800cc memory gel (both were HP) provided a wider diameter, less projection and more of the weight in the bottom rather than at the cleavage. These were all of the things I was looking for. Also the difference from going from 700 to 800, I didn't feel like it would make a *huge* difference in size so I wasn't opposed to going larger.

I have mentor saline mod plus 1080cc and I love the amount of side boob I have.

Do you have pics of the 800cc? Do the silicone fill much heavier than the saline? Thanks!

Yes! I have pics. I wrote a separate review for Dr. Revis who did my 800s. As for the weight, I don't notice much difference from the 700cc to 800. Although, the first few days, they felt "weird" to me. I think because it was a different material and they hung differently and moved differently. But after like 2-3 days, they felt like my own. I think I remember Dr. Revis saying that actually the memory gel weighs less than saline.
