How Much Does It Cost to Add 50 CC of Saline to Your Implants?

Yes it is possible to add more volume to saline implants but there are considerations that are important and need to be discussed with your plastic surgeon. For example, each implant has a recommended range for the fill volume. Going above that will increase the firmness, narrow the base and make it more likely to ripple. On the other hand if adding more within the recommended fill volume by the manufacturer you are safe. Check to make sure that refilling them does not void your warranty. The cost varies on type of anesthetic, location of the surgery, time required, experience of the surgeon and geographic location among other factors.

I perform around 1500 breast augmentation surgeries per year and I have found that it typically takes at least 100cc more for patients to truly see a difference when they are trying to go larger. But we do add more for patients and this typically cost $2200.

This depends on several factors. However, your most economical soluition is to return to the surgeon who performed the operation. Costs depend on whether you need new implants because it may not be recommended to fill your existing implants. Local or general anesthesia? Office or hospital operating room?

Each time you operate on the breasts you stimulate scar tissue and increase the risk of capsular contracture.  Reoperations after breast augmentation should not be treated lightly. Reoperating just to increase the implant size by just 50cc whether you put in new implants or add saline is out of the question in my book. The extra 50cc you want will most likely not even be visible as a different size from the outside world.

As pointed out by the other surgeons, this is not as easy as it sounds.  To add volume to your implants, the implants actually need to be connected to a fill tube which requires an additional surgical procedure.

I would speak with the surgeon who performed your original surgery and see what he/she can do to help you.
