Is it possible for a 500cc saline implant be filled to 600cc or what cc would be okay to fill it to?

Saline implants have a range that they can be filled to. They can be slightly underfilled and up to 15% overfilled, more or less. Filling a 500 cc implant to 600 cc is slightly above the overfill limit but I have done this numerous times in various situations.  It would be better to pick a larger implant, like a 550cc, and overfill to 600 cc if that is a volume you and your surgeon are comfortable with. I hope this helps!!

Each breast implant manufacturer has a recommended fill range for each of their implants. Saline implants are generally overfilled to avoid rippling and to maintain shape, but the degree of overfilling varies. For example, Mentor permits more overfilling for their implants than does Allergan. There are also different overfilling ranges for how, moderate, or high profile implants. Yes, you could fit 600cc of saline in a Mentor 500cc implant, but the implant would become extremely firm and rounded in shape. Implant selection depends not only on desired volume, but on the diameter of the implant and other factors.I would strongly recommend finding a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is willing to spend enough time with you to allow you to understand all of the issues and factors that are involved in choosing breast implants, and in deciding how much to overfill them.

I used to overfill saline mplants slightly, but would not overfill 500 cc implants to 600.  They will feel hard and bouncy and may actually ripple more.

Hello,It is possible, but the consequences are not good. First, going beyond a certain point of over filling will change the way the implant ripples. Initially, small amounts of over fill decrease rippling. As the implant gets more overfilled, rippling increases.  Second, a breast implant does not increase in height and width equally with over filling. In fact, as you overfill the implant, height increases and width decreases.  This means the implant is becoming more spherical, or ball shaped. Third, the implant will become firmer as it is overfilled, and it will feel very hard.  Finally, this firm device will cause significant tissue atrophy over time, thinning and stretching your tissues. This is not a recommended plan. Best of luck!

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well..

The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but  also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue… Breast augmentation surgery increases or restores breast size using silicone gel implants, saline implants or in some cases, fat transfer. One of the most popular and frequently performed aesthetic surgery procedures, breast augmentation has a long and successful track record in satisfying women who wish to enhance, regain or restore balance to their figures.

This depends on whether it is a moderate plus or high profile saline.  Sometimes these two styles have close to an overfill of 100cc.  It really depends on the manufacturer and style of the saline implant.  You want your surgeon to follow manufacturer recommendations otherwise you can weaken the implant shell weakening and  negate your warranty. Best of luck to you 

Yes it is possible to overfill a 500cc saline implant to 600cc. However it is slightly higher than manufacturer recommendations.  This does make implants firmer and possibly can increase wrinkling. Best of luck.  

Yes, the implants can be filled to that volume, but overfilling may weaken the implant shell, show more rippling, and have a higher change of deflating. Each manufacturer specifies the limit of fill for each implant. If you really want 600 cc's, go with a larger implant.

Hi  and thanks for your question. You can generally overfill saline implants within a certain range of approximately 10 to 15% of the maximum fill volume. It varies depending upon implant manufacturer. My best advice after 30+ years performing cosmetic plastic surgery is to find an experienced plastic surgeon who is board certified.

Plastic surgeons typically overfill saline implants in order to decrease the amount of wrinkling and rippling they may have. Therefore all saline implants have a minimum size and fill that they recommend. The manufacturer then will recommend a certain amount of overfill. For a large implant like 500 mL  this overfill may range from 50 to 100 mL, depending on the manufacturer. For smaller implants the overfill recommendation may be limited to 25 mL. It is best to check with your plastic surgeon and the specific manufacturer of your implants in order to determine whether the overfill is appropriate. I hope this helps!
