Question

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Sorry, but online consultants will not be able to give you definitive advice when it comes to how much more volume of breast implant can be used safely. Remember, that utilization of a breast implant that is too large for your frame can be problematic in many ways. In my practice, the decision of how large of a breast implant can be used (including for patients seeking "extra-large" augmentation) is made during surgery after pocket adjustments have been made and after temporary sizes have been placed.

My best advice: seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate lots of experience achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully as well. Always keep safety and avoidance of complications as your first priorities.

Best wishes.

Part of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's responsibility- is to assist a patient in evaluating the suitability of their desires.  Although you may find redeeming value in your implant size, and a desire to be even larger- personally, and professionally - I do not. I would not accept you as a patient with these desires but I'm sure there are those who would. Good luck!

Thanks for writing ,That decision has to made by you and your plastic surgeon. There is a saying in plastics, “The bigger the implant the bigger the problems”. Based on your photos, it appears your breasts are falling off your implants. Good luck Stephen M.
