800cc Breast Implant Replacement Possible for Second Surgery?

Barbara1350Jan 9, 2010

I had Breast Augmentation surgery in Aug'09 and went from 36A to a 36D, silicone, under the muscle. I have 550 cc's in left & 500 in right breast. I also had tuberous breasts & had a mastopexy done. I would like to go bigger and would like to get 800cc implants. Is this possible for me? My doc said that 500 cc is the biggest that I could have b/c I had minimal breast tissue (No kids). Is it possible for me to get 800cc after skin is stretched from the first surgery & how long do I wait?

Breast revision surgery can be very complicated without guaranteed results. As far as the deformity you have with muscular contraction, that is the result of having the implant under the muscle. You are very thin and already have rippling, so I dont think it is an option for you to have had...

Thank you for your question. You can technically add saline to a saline breast implant, however, this will not only void the implant warranty and you need to keep in mind that every time you go back in for surgery, you open yourself up to complications like capsular contracture especially when...
