I Have 450cc and Need Strattice Revision I Want 550ccs is This Harmful?

Without photos and some more info it is hard to give a useful recommendation. Size of implant is a factor in bottoming out, so that is one argument against going larger. Whether the strattice reconstruction will hold up to a larger implant is something an online consultant with minimal info can only guess at. I would guess that the reason you may be asking is that your surgeon discouraged the size increase. Thanks for your question, and best wishes.

Raise breast tissue instead of larger low implants plus strattice

For example, careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be helpful in determining whether the breast implants you are considering will “fit” nicely. The use of implants... more

Strattice to support implants

Each situation is different and only a plastic surgeon examining you personally can make a definitive recommendation. In general, larger implants put more stress on the tissues and bottoming out can be one consequence. In theory, Strattice should help and allow you to go larger, but I would still recommend staying with an implant size with dimensions corresponding to your anatomy, especially base diameter of the breast.

Implants and Strattice

It really depends upon how you look and what you are trying to accomplish with the implants and strattice. If you are bottoming out it might be best to stay with the same volume of even go smaller.
