I Have 380 Cc Silicone Implants Would It Be Possible to Change to 800 Cc?

Your desire for larger implants would make you disproportionate.  Additionally, the implants will stretch and thin the tissues too much.  This will lead to long term problems with your breasts. DO NOT DO IT!

Hi, it is possible but it will still depend on how the patient's body will be able to handle the weight. It will greatly affect the posture and strength of muscles. It is best to find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and have an in-person examination if you are a candidate for this procedure. Discuss realistic goals and expectations with your doctor. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Yes it is possible, but your capsule contracture risk will go up, way up, and your back problems and pain will also go up, and the risk of nipple sensation loss also will go up.  So, if all of these things sound like risks you are willing to take, and the benefit to risk ratio looks favorable to you, then the surgery is for you.  You will also look like you have gained weight as well…..which you have, about 4-5 lbs.  You really need to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and have a long consultation about all involved in this size change.  You have good height, but that is still a lot of implant for 110lbs.

Anything is possible BUT 800cc implants are way too big for your frame and those implants will have serious negative effects on your breasts over time.

You sound very thin to have implants that large...but that may simply be the look you're striving for.  The answer depends on whether your implants are above or below your muscle.  Personally, I think an implant that large in someone as thin as you is just a setup for problems...certainly for another surgery in a short time.

First, thank you for your question.  Many other women often express similar questions about breast implants. I am often asked how big of an implant can I put into a breast.  I remind patients that the female breast is capable of an incredible amount of stretch and probably almost any size implant can be crammed into a breast...HOWEVER, just because you can do it does not mean you should do it.  Think of your breast as having foundations under them very much like a house does.  These foundations can support a certain amount of weight but once you exceed that weight, then over time, the foundations will crumble leading to stretched, bottomed out breasts with very thinned out tissues; a problem that is very difficult to correct and usually requires larger scars.  The key to obtaining a long lasting aesthetic result from a breast augmentation is choose a size your body can support.   From your description of your physical proportions, I would be very concerned about placing an implant with the size you requested.  I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and looking at long-term follow up photos to better understand these complex questions.  Thank you.

Selecting "arbitrary" breast implant sizes can lead to numerous deleterious and irreversible effects upon both your rib cae, breast, scars, and anatomy. Such examples can include thiining of your skin, widening of your scars, implant palpability, implant malposition, implant migration, implant bottoming out and increase areola diameter, etc. Try staying with an implant that is choosing according to your breast base width, and one that can be adequately covered by the amount of breatst tissue that you have. Discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon for further recomendations.

It is in your best interest to be examined by a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced with the use of larger breast implants.  I like to communicate with my patients  with the help of pictures of what the patient's goals are. You may be able to achieve your goals with implants smaller than 800 mL.

Of course, it is important to consider the downsides of larger breast implants and larger breasts as you are considering your options.

Hello and thank you for the question.

While it may be reasonable to increase the size of your implants modestly, I would not  recommend a jump to 800 ccs.  Although I don't have the luxury of seeing photographs of your current proportions, it is likely that an implant that large will create anatomic unbalance. Additionally, over time, the gross weight of implants that large will impart undue damage to the soft-tissue, including stretching of the skin, potential disruption of the infra-mammary folds, development of excessive dermal striae or stretch marks.  Keep in mind that some of the aforementioned sequale my necessitate the need for revision surgery in the future.

Before considering implants that large, I would recommend consulting with a Board Ceritified Plastic Surgeon who has ample experience with breast implant revision surgery.

Best,

I never recommend 800 cc implants in patients for breast augmentation, because I think in general they are too large and relapse happens quicker with these.
