Do Saline Implants Feel/look Better if Filled to Max or Overfilled?

Saline breast implants are sized according to the minimal fill volume. There is also a maximum recommended, usually about 10% more than the nominal fill, so when we say overfilling it is something above that. For example, a 330 cc implant has a recommended fill range of 330 to 360, above 360 is overfill. The trade-offs are that at lower fill volumes they will feel softer but more ripply, at higher fills they will have less rippling but be firm and unnaturally round. The optimum fill volume depends on balancing these factors, which is different for each patient.

Overfilling is a point of contention and taste among plastic surgeons. To me, it depends on the profile. While I may overfill moderate implants, I generally fill to the upper limits of moderate plus, and  fill less than max with high profile because this creates an overly round shape

I would ONLY recommend to fill to max as per the implant companies guide lines because if over filled than your warranty can be refused. Yes the rippling is better the more it is filled, so you and I are in a catch 22 situation. I fill just to the max.
