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

I am looking for a way to get larger implants and saw something about a study for silicone gel implants, who didn't have to meet certain previous criteria, also I read something about using expanders. I am looking to go to 1000 or 1200cc and know saline is an option but wondered if I was reading this right. I am currently at 700cc's of silicone. I am aware of the risks of going larger and have decided that I am willing.
