I had my saline breast implants replaced 6 months ago to 450cc's filled to 475 and 525. I am not pleased with the results. They are full on bottom but not on top. I was advised that I can have them refilled to 700 cc's or replace them again for a bigger size entirely. I know overfilling is not recommended my the manufacturer. However, I am seeking the big, round fake look as I had before as opposed to big and natural as they look now. The scars will be removed later along with moving down and minimize my nipples.
Answer: How Much Can Saline Implants Be Overfilled? Thank you for the question. Based on significant experience, I can tell you the saline breast implants can be overfilled far beyond the upper limits of manufacturer's recommendations. You will find many examples of such cases on the attached link. Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: How Much Can Saline Implants Be Overfilled? Hi Brooke007, I think you've seen your answer about over filling your implants. It's not recommended for the increase in size you are desiring. Moreover, I don't think what you want is achievable by just increasing your implant size. Women who are unhappy with sagging in their breasts often mistakenly think getting larger breast implants will magically lift and reposition their breast to a higher place on their chest. Unfortunately, this just isn’t how our anatomy works. Breast implants will add volume, but only a Mastopexy will lift the breast back into position.You have to understand your body has aged and changed since your original augmentation. There are many causes of breast ptosis (sagging) including pregnancy, cigarette smoking, high body mass, gravity and the natural aging process. Back then it's clear from your photo, your own breast tissue was stretched to accommodate your implants, giving you the " new" and "fake" look where you can see the implant shape under the skin. To regain something similar, you would need a breast lift and possibly reduction of your own breast tissue, even then you have to be realistic. The quality of your skin has changed and that compromises outcomes long term. A highly skilled surgeon can get you close, but you have to embrace your anatomy now. Good luck!

Answer: Change to high profile That look is best achieved with high profile implants filled to the upper end of their volume range. It sounds like you have moderate profile implants, which are too wide and flat for the look you are trying to achieve. I would not overfill a 450 to 700.

Answer: Overfill in Breast Implants The manufacturers of breast implants produce implants that have fill ranges which are designed to give surgeons latitude in the operating room. These implants allow adjustments in volume which can help deal with problems such as asymmetry. These guidelines generally allow implants to have an additional 15% of volume. Excessive overfill can result in device failure and resultant deflation. It would be inappropriate to inflate a 450cc implant to 700cc and this would probably result in implant failure. Since you had your surgery six months ago, your result won’t change without further intervention. Your post-operative pictures suggest significant breast sag and this appears to be your primary problem. This is the origin of your lack of upper breast fullness. Correction of your breast sag represents the best solution to your current problem. With a breast lift you might not need new implants, but this could be accomplished easily in combination with breast lift if it were necessary. It’s important that you discuss this issue with your surgeon, so an appropriate treatment plan can be formulated. If you still have concerns a second opinion may be necessary.

Answer: Overfilling Breast Implants Saline implants have a range with which they can be filled. A minimum fill and a maximum fill which varies depending on the implant size. You can safely overfill an implant above its maximum fill volume by 10 - 15 %. Beyond that, the risk of deformation of the implant edge is high resulting in the look of implant rippling.
