What is the maximum size implant that can be placed safely behind the muscle for silicone memory gel? Also I know that a cc is a cc but in saline implants have a different shape and appearance compared to silicone memory gel. I had saline implants 375cc went to silicone 500cc but they seem smaller is this possible?
There is no way to say a maximum cc for an implant size. The size should be based on your chest dimension, skin tone and other body type factors. Your surgeon can go over these issues with you during a consultation. Getting the biggest implant possible is not always the best idea. There are definite down sides to a larger implant than your body can tolerate. Sizes are very individual.
There is no maximum per se that can be put behind the muscle. Your surgeon should evaluate your tissue laxity and diameter of your chest. The memory gel implant does sit differently in the pocket and give a different appearance. If you desire it sounds like you could go even bigger on the memory gel. Something to explore.
