Another breast augmentation to add volume to saline implants?

I went for 500cc's should have gone 600cc's like my dr. said. Will I have to have the full surgery done again to go bigger? I went about 100cc's too small.

I would like to know if I have to have the full Breast augmentation surgery again. I was hoping the increase in saline could be done in the office, but I don't know. My implants were filled at the minimum so they could still be filled up another 100cc's. I chose Mod Saline implants.

Even with the moderate profile plus implants none of them can be increased 100cc. Most have an approximately 80cc range. Also, as you fill these implants the diameter will decrease and the projection will increase. This may not be the look you want. So I would wait at least 6 months... more

A: 600 cc implants are too big for almost anybody.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! I don't know what you look like, but I have long experience with breast augmentation in New York City, and I can tell you that very big implants age very badly, stretch out the tissues, and look fake. So I don't recommend it. But to answer your question, to put another 100cc's into your breast... more

A: Overfilling Saline Breast Implants

By Lavinia Chong, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

Many women implanted with saline implants remark that they like the appearance of their breasts, when they are recently done. While they all prefer the feel and mobility of the breasts after they descend, some experience "buyer's remorse", like you and wish they had chosen larger volumes. ... more
