I have 700 cc saline breast implants under the muscle. I want to go bigger maybe 1400cc. I've had my implants for 17 months now. But my issue is I can't find a surgeon who does it. Everyone keeps telling me they only go to 800cc. Is there any reputable doctors who specialize in larger implants or is this impossible.
Answer: Are implants larger than 800cc possible? I appreciate your question. The larger the impacts the higher the complication rate especially in the long-term. There has also been a recently published article that studied the effect of larger implants on the spine. >400cc was associated with changes in the spine. As someone who sits on the patient safety and public education committees for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, I do not recommend 1400cc. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Selecting a breast implant size for breast augmentation I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery(ASPS) and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see before and after photos. As for that large, anything is possible. It just depends are you willing to accept the risks of the poor result, infection, tissue loss, skin destruction etc. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implants larger than 800cc Technically there are no FDA approved implants larger than 800cc in the US currently available for either breast augmentation or breast reconstruction. Currently a surgeon can order a 800cc saline implant and overfill it to maybe 850cc and that would be the largest FDA approved implant. If you find a surgeon offering or willing to place a larger implant than this please be aware that you are not getting a FDA approved implant. There are currently studies going on at several places in the US where larger implants are being investigated for their safety in breast reconstruction patients but it may take years to get these approved or released for general use.

Answer: Are implants larger than 800cc possible? Thank you for the question. The use of breast implant volumes greater than 800 cc is certainly possible and sometimes necessary depending on the patient's body type and goals. Of course, some patients' starting anatomy does not allow the use of larger breast implants safely.You may find the attached link, dedicated to larger breast augmentation surgery outcomes helpful to as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast implants larger than 800 g Yes, it is possible to have implants larger than 800 g, but there are few issues you should consider. First, you may have to accept implants that are not FDA approved and have your procedure outside the US, or have overfilled saline implants. I would strongly advise against using 'stacked' implants, which is something that was tried in the early days of breast enlargement, causing several problems.Big implants (and for some surgeons the definition of big starts as low as 350cc) cause permanent, non-reversible changes to your breast tissues. It may be very difficult to go back to a smaller size without accepting very long scars and a rather poor shape. Most of the risks of the procedure, including infection and exposure of the implants, are significantly higher with very large implants. If you feel comfortable with this, do make an appointment with a surgeon that has specific experience of breast augmentation with large implants and listen carefully to what is achievable and what the downside of this decision can be.What you have in mind is possible, but that doesn't mean it is the right decision for you.
