Saline Breast Implants: How much can you fill
Saline breast implants have the same outer shell as silicone, however the inside is filled with saline when placed in the breast and not prefilled with silicone. This enables the implant to be placed through a smaller incision and filled manually. It has been shown that underfilling can lead to possible premature implant rupture, however overfilling may lead to firmer implants which is not desirable. I would stick with the manufacturer's guidelines, but overfilling to 10 to 20 % should...

Maximum fill volumes for saline implants.
The maximum fill volume recommendations for implants are set by the manufacturers. Overfilling beyond these recommended volumes can lead to scalloping of the implant, increased rupture risk, and void the warranty of the device. If you wish to have larger implants, choose larger implants. Don't simply overfill small implants.

Before overfilling your implants consider the consequences.
Each Saline implant comes with the implant manufactures recommendation for minimum and maximum fill. However, some surgeons do use these recommendations only as guidelines and choose on their own to under fill or overfill the implant. There are no precise limits as to how much a surgeon can overfill any implant. However, disregarding the manufactures recommendation can have consequences. For one, overfilling the implant creates a more tense and unnaturally firm feeling implant and therefore...

Implant fill
Depending upon what the implant company is, some implants may be filled to the max with 30 cc or 50 or somtimes more. And still some surgeons over fill the recommended fill to minimize rippling or slight size discrepancies.

Can saline implants be overfilled by more than 50cc?
Each saline implant has a recommended overfill volume as per manufacturer. For a 325cc implant that's about 30cc. If you place more saline into the implant than what's recommended, you will end up with a firmer breast, unatural superior fill, scalloping at the edge which translates in to irregular visible borders at the inferior and lateral poles. I'm not sure if the manufacturer's warranty is voided if the implants are greatly overfilled (check the...

Breast implant fill range for saline
In order for a saline implant to fell soft and perform well, there is a manufacturers fill range for a particular implant that will depend on 'make' and size. A smaller implant such as 300cc may only allow an addition of 30cc, and a fuller implant, perhaps 400cc may allow an addition of 50cc. You can confirm this information on your implant record card which every patient should have for their home file.
Best of luck,

Overfilling of Saline Implants
I am unsure of the company that manufactured your implants, but most 325cc have a recommended fill volume of only up to 375cc. If the implants are filled beyond the recommended fill volumes, there is a possibility that the warranty could be voided.
