A Thanks for your question, yes, there is experience within the plastic surgery community with implant sizes larger than 800cc in breast reconstruction, though it's relatively uncommon and considered outside the standard range of FDA-approved silicone implants in the U.S., where 800cc is currently the maximum available off-the-shelf. Anything beyond that would typically involve either overfilled saline implants, stacked implants (rare), or custom implants sourced through specialized channels. In carefully selected patients, particularly those who are implant-dependent after mastectomy and are seeking a larger, more augmented appearance, larger volumes can be safely used. The key factors that determine feasibility include the dimensions of the chest wall, the integrity and elasticity of the soft tissue, and the quality of the implant pocket. For patients with a stable reconstruction, no history of complications, and an adequate skin envelope, moving beyond 800cc may be appropriate, but it’s not without added considerations. Larger implants carry more weight and may increase the risk of long-term issues like bottoming out or lateral displacement, especially in thinner individuals or in those with limited soft tissue coverage. Any surgeon considering this type of revision would need to evaluate you in person, perform measurements, and possibly use imaging or sizers to model your goals. It’s definitely possible in the right setting, but it requires a personalized approach and a clear understanding of both the aesthetic goals and the mechanical limitations of the tissues. If you’re seriously considering this direction, I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with complex or high-volume reconstruction cases. They’ll be able to guide you through your options in detail and help determine what’s both safe and achievable based on your anatomy and long-term goals.

A Thank you for sharing your experience, this is a common and understandable concern after implant reconstruction. That persistent heavy, sagging feeling you describe in the left breast, especially noticeable without a bra can sometimes be due to pocket laxity, asymmetry in implant positioning, or weakened support from the surrounding tissue. After a mastectomy and implant placement, particularly over time, the skin and internal support structures (like the capsule or muscle) on one side can stretch more than the other, leading to a "bottomed-out" or lower-positioned implant. Even after implant replacement, if the underlying pocket wasn’t revised or tightened during surgery, the same issue can recur. Another possibility is capsular stretch or thinning of the soft tissue envelope on that side. This can happen after implant rupture, as the body responds differently to leaked silicone and may lead to changes in tissue integrity over time. If your surgeon didn’t note any complications during the replacement surgery but you still feel and see a difference, you might consider a second opinion from a plastic surgeon who specializes in complex breast revision. Imaging (like ultrasound or MRI) and a clinical exam can help determine whether the implant has dropped, rotated, or if the pocket needs surgical adjustment (e.g., capsulorrhaphy or internal mesh support). In short, what you're experiencing is not uncommon, and while your implants are new, the surrounding tissue and pocket dynamics may need to be addressed to restore symmetry and comfort. You deserve to feel balanced and at ease, don’t hesitate to explore your options.
