500 cc implants...mixed feelings

I had breast augmentation in October of 08...I was a 34B/32C and 5 ft. 4 in. and 130 lbs...now I wear a 34DD comfortably. My question is, at first I signed on for saline 550s, then my family and close friends, one who has implants, suggested NOT to go that large...now I have this infatuation with the fact that I didn't go big enough, even though the largest my doc reccomended was only 50cc's more than what I have now!
I guess it's because mine look pretty natural, and sag a little like natural breasts. They don't have that bubble, top filled look. It doesn't help that I'm pregnant (well..they ARE bigger now). Any similiar thoughts, advice? Might just be a phase. My hubby is very satisfied with them, and everyone says they are large. I do realize they look smaller in clothing, it just seems crazy that people gasp at anything over 400ccs, and I don't even feel I'm that big!

Erm... It depends on your frame. The cc shouldn't matter.
Personally, the only thing i said to my surgeon was "I want them to look NATURAL". but horses for courses.

I think most boobs will "sag" a bit. I prefer mine now they do, it hides the scars a little, and again it looks more natural. Maybe try a push-up bra when you have had the baby? DD pushed up looks pretty "top filled".  We are told to wear non-wired bras whilst pregnant and feeding so as not to damage breast tissue, it doesn't do much for your cleavage, but better than damaging yourself permanently.

Also, having a baby may change your size, so don't rush into anything for a result you may get naturally.
