Will Silicone Gel And/or Expanders Allow Me to Have Up to 1200cc Silicones? (photo)

You should be able to go from your current size to 1200 cc's without using expanders.  However, I think you are already plenty large and think it is a bad idea. I would turn your request for larger implants down, but you will always be able to find a surgeon willing to do it.

  I am not aware of a study testing 1200 cc silicone implants in the cosmetic patient.  However, there are a few doctors who perform these larger breast augmentations with custom implants.

Thank you for your photo.  Your breast shape is very good with your current implants.  To the best of my knowledge the largest size of implant available in the U.S. is 800 cc.  Your request is not possible.

I am not aware of this study.  However, I know that implants of that size would need to be custom ordered.   I would caution you that implants of that size are going to cause irreversible stretching of your breast skin and tissues.  It will likely cause sagging as you age and possibly nerve damage resulting in numbness or pain.  

In the US, the largest implants are 800 cc's. I suppose you could have saline overfilled, but I imagine it would void the warranty because they are overfilled beyond the recommended fill.

Eventhough you look quite good and adequately balanced with 700 cc implants, obviously you are interested in getting larger implants. Using tissue expanders are one way to stetch out your breast tissues  to the desired volume ( 1000-1200 ml) before replacing them with larger implants. My preferance is silicone, however be prepared for more complications associated with larger implants.  

While I would certainly acknowledge that large volume implants MAY cause more complications in some woomen, this is certainly not an infrequent request.  It comes up most often in larger women who need breast reconstruction, but also fairly frequently in women who are desiring cosmetic enlargement.  I have found that the best choice at this time is saline which can be overfilled , but the mentor moderate plus has a range up to 960 cc - I have overfilled this to 1200 cc in quite a few patients, who like you, had done their research, understood the risks, benefits, complications, as well as the alternatives.  Several of the patients continue to see me yearly and all are still extremely happy with their results, undertstanding that they may choose to downsize as they get older.

The largest silicone implants available in the US are 800 cc. I am not sure you would see much difference from your current size. The US manufacturers do not make custom gel implants, and the overwhelming majority of surgeons will not use unapproved implants. 

I am aware of no such study. Thanks for your question, best wishes.

Thank you for the question and picture.  I am not aware of the silicone breast implant “study” that you are referring to. However, you may find the attached link discussing the potential risk/complications associated with larger breasts implants helpful to you.

Best wishes.

Dont do it you will regret it. your frame is too small. once you get stretched out  , there is no going back. your breasts will sag, you will be deformed and very sad
