Are 360cc's the Highest Saline Breast Implant Available?
I was inquiring about Saline Breast Implants. Is 360cc's the highest you can have? I'm looking to have a revison because of one side of my implant is deflated.
I was thinking to stay with the same type of saline implant but want to see if they can go with more cc's than the 360cc's or choose another option. 8 years ago, I choose saline because it was done with no visible scar under my armpit.

Breast implants go over 360cc's
No. Implants go to OVER double that volume.
However, it does not mean that even if these SUPERsized implants could physically be placed in your chest, that they would look attractive in the near and far future. Far from it.
The KEY to natural appearing breast augmentation are choosing an implant that can still be covered by the breast tissue you currently have (COVER) and light enough (WEIGHT) to resist gravitational sagging as long as possible. Without a cover, all the implant ripples will...

Breast implant sizes
Thank you for the question.
The largest implants available are 800 mL saline which can be overfilled.
When thinking about breast augmentation revisionary surgery It will be very important to communicate your overall goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake...

No, 360 cc's is not the largest size of saline implants
Saline implants range from 120 - 900 cc's, so there are many options for patients. The decision to replace your implant with a larger size so not be made with out considering other factors. Switching to a larger implant can cause problems with firmness, wrinkling, sagging and stretch marks. You should discuss this with your surgeon before making a decision. Also, with most saline implants, there is a warranty that may not cover a size change or the cost of changing the non-ruptured side...

Breast implant sizing
360 cc's is my average volume implant and the middle of the range of commercially available implants. The best way to think of them is like looking at the range of dress sizes or shoe sizes in a store except that you can't try them on in the same way. There is a limit of commercially available sizes but the correct one is the one that fits you and looks good on you, not the average or some idea of what a proper size implant should be.
Unfortunately, putting a breast implant on...

Available sizes for saline implants
Saline implants come in a range of sizes, up to more than 700 cc's but the larger implants don't often feel as natural as silicone gel, and for most women it isn't a very natural apreance either regardless of implant type. One issue you may run into is the difficulty of replacing the implant through the same incision.

Breast implants come in a variety of sizes
When choosing breast implants, size should be based on the dimensions of your native breast as well as the stretch of the soft tissue envelope. Certainly, both saline and silicone implants can be found in sizes as large as 800cc. However, the goal should be to provide a balanced look with the implant and the rest of your body habitus. In addition, a large implant can cause permanent stretch to the local tissue, eventually leaving the breast looking droopy. Silicone implants tend to be...

Saline implant sizes available
Both manufacterers (Allergan and Mentor) available in the USA have saline implants available up to the 800-900cc range, But keep in mind that the larger the implant, the more skin thinning/stretching will occur and the more droopiness may occur due to the weight of the implant. You may therefore wish to be conservative and not go any more than 100-150cc's above your current implant size. You also may wish to switch to gel filled implants for a softer result, but these are more difficult to...

Best breast implant size should be determined by you and your surgeon
Implant sizes available in the USA vary from 90cc to 800cc and came in different shapes and types (i.e. saline and silicone gel). The size of implant for you should be determined by a consultation with your physician. He is trained to take into account your anatomy, body shape and your desired outcome.
Also, keep in mind that most implants come with a lifetime warranty so you may want to contact your implant manufacture and provide your serial number to see if they will be able to give you...
