500cc to 1,500cc? Is it possible with very little breast tissue? If not, what is the biggest I could go?

Additional elective cosmetic #surgery is a personal choice. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. If you do decide on a revision to #increase your implant size or choose a different implant, the #pocket will need adjusting and often a breast #lift is also be necessary to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity. A different type or wider implants may also be an option if deemed a candidate.
It's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is specialized in cosmetic breast surgery. Such is most suitable to perform your breast #augmentation. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, decrease the need for #revision surgeries. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed #decision. Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes.

Dear AloRoi,breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question. If you are currently 500 cc, then there may be options to increase the size of your implants. You would want to make sure that whatever implant you choose is not wider than your breast base diameter. In addition, the largest silicone implants on the market are 800 cc in size and a saline implant of the same size could be overfilled to slightly larger than 800 cc. However, in someone like you who sounds to be not very large in build, to get this amount of volume in a small width would require an extremely high profile implant which would look rather unnatural and disproportionate. In addition, while you think you may love them initially, with time this large of an implant would stretch the breast tissue and would eventually produce a very poor aesthetic result that you will not be pleased with. I would strongly recommend reconsidering your goals. If you find someone who is willing to stack implants or do something to give you 1500 cc implants, you should walk away. Best of luck and above all, be safe!
