I received 800 cc high profile under the muscle. I am now a 36 G but I look like a DD they seem so small and look small. I'm also tall, 5'10" so they don't look big on me. Just average. I can't find not one piece of information online about about switching from silicone to saline. I want to be twice the size I am now or 2,000 cc's I want them to stick out further and I want to have a lot more clevage. I am afraid of rippling with saline but would there be any rippling if I got them overfilled?
Answer: Going XL and Rippling Good afternoon,I perform a LOT of XL overfilled saline implants, over 200 per year, often in the 1500-2000cc range. In fact you may already be a patient of mine. I can tell you for sure that rippling is not a common issue that comes up. The overfilling to reach those sizes really stretches and rounds out the implant shell.

Answer: Switching from silicone to saline. Will there be any rippling if I get them overfilled? Generally speaking, breast implant rippling decreases as breast implants are overfilled. One of the downsides with overfilled saline filled implants is firmness of the breast implants, which most patients seeking the "extra large" look do not mind. Best wishes.

Answer: Larger saline breasts implants Dear Alleyna, Thanks for posting your pictures, though , having pictures from further distance could give a better impression of your breasts cup size. Also, having your before picture would have been helpful, to assess the size increase that you got. From observing your front picture you appear to me as full D cup only and from the left side view you might have left breast lateral implant displacement and mild double bubble deformity that reduces the cleavage and projection. So, you have few issues here: 1. To double your current size, means to become 36 DDD, which in you case requires implants with volume of 1250 cc. The 2000 cc will be way too big for you and it will increase your breasts cup size by about 6 sizes !!! 2. You might benefit from lateral and inferior capsulorrhaphy ( internal bra) ,on the left breast which will give you nicer cleavage and more projection. Also, if you have wide cleavage when not pushing the breasts in, medial capsulotomy (scar release) will give you a nice cleavage. 3. It is a myth that saline implants give you more ripples than silicone implants. On thin people (not your situation) they have the same problems. I have replaced silicone implants with saline implant on many patients to the delight of my patients. So, do not worry about this issue. Always, consult with experience board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Switching from silicone to saline. Will there be any rippling if I get them overfilled? In our Practice we would not recommend saline implants especially for "off label" use and desiring this huge size is outside of the request that we would be comfortable addressing.

Answer: Overfilled Breast Implants The bigger issue in considering the extra large implants is the damage that the implants will do to your skin and atrophy your tissues. This will almost certainly cause you to have a droop to your breasts and eventually more implant visibility. Saline has a much higher incidence of rippling than silicone. You will definitely be larger, but consider the other consequences as well. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through an in-person consultation.
