Question

I scheduled revision I would like to change my 500cc to bigger implants 800cc saline I had my first BA 5 y ago . I had 465 cc filled to 500cc saline. As of today I'm 5'6 and 154 lb and I don't feel like I had surgery. Everything is great but I wish my breast looks bigger. I was measured 15 cm. As much I was excited now I'm not sure what to do? And will my breasts get stretched out a lot? Will I get more complications because of bigger implants? Don't want to do any more surgeries in a future.

Good morning!
I perform over 200 XL augmentations a year- more than anyone else in the U.S. Although you will undoubtedly receive other answers condemning your decision, discouraging you, and telling you it's a terrible idea, when performed properly, by an experience surgeon, there is no higher complication rate and they last just as long as smaller sized implants. I say go for it if that's what you want!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. You can probably go bigger implants but additional risks are involved, excess skin stretch, bottoming out, excessive thinning of the overlying tissues, stretch marks, lateral implant malposition. The list of complications from very large implants goes on and on and on, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

800 cc implants will weigh 3 1/2 lbs and it will possible that you will have neck, shoulder and back pain from implants this large.  Also, the weight of the breast is only being held up by your skin envelope and the skin will stretch from the excess weight.  You state that you don't want anymore surgeries in the future but this will most likely give you complications.  I recommend you stay with the implants you have rather than risk complications from going  with larger implants.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Greetings Dear

Thank you for your questions.
Putting bigger implants your skin will be more stretched out and the is sometimes complications such as sometimes you will have back pains.

Best Regards

I think you have a lovely result as is. It’s your choice if you want to go larger. I rarely go above 500. Cc ‘s. That’s where they become heavy, they sag , and the skin thins out. I discourage patients from going that large
