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.
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.
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.
