800 cc saline implant - can my body take it?

If you really want 800 cc then that is what you should consider.  There are no rules regarding what will fit your body. Find a surgeon who has experience with all ranges of requests and all sizes of implants. The surgeon's own sense of aesthetic is not of any importance. It is your body. If you like the way the 800 cc implant looks then that is what you should be shooting for. On the other hand, if over and over you meet with plastic surgeons that express the same technical concerns about implant coverage then maybe you need to readjust your goals.

The
best way to answer your question is to suggest a consultation with a Board
Certified plastic surgeon, where you can discuss your aesthetic goals. At this time, you can actually try on 800cc
implants to see how your body will look with that large of volume on your
chest. You must understand that saline
implants weigh more than silicone implants.
The 800cc implants will weigh in excess of 5-6 pounds; this can create long-term
consequences for your neck, back, and shoulders. Furthermore, having an implant this size, on
a body frame as small as yours, will probably result in a variety of physical complications
over your lifetime. You may require
multiple surgical interventions, as well as incur a significant financial
burden. Do your homework to locate a
reputable, experienced, Board Certified surgeon, and then schedule a consultation
appointment.

There are VERY few women with the physique that would gracefully  accept these implants. Determine your goal.. do you want to enter a room and have everyone stare at your chest ?. If you do, then the 800 cc implants will probably suffice. I view breast  surgery as balancing  breast/chest-waist- and hips to  bring all three into harmony. Unless you have a  very unusual build, these implants would make you appear terribly "top" heavy.

800cc implants are big!!!  It is all about what your end goal is and what you are willing to accept as long term complications or problems that can be associated with large breast implants.  Very large implants cause thinning of your tissues and more distortion of your overall breast anatomy.  I would recommend a formal evaluation with board certified surgeons and to bring in pictures of the look you are going for.  800 cc implants can certainly be placed but you need to consider how you want your breasts to look years from now as well.  Good luck

Everyone's body has an anatomical balance. Everyone has their own personal taste. Sometimes the two do not match. I would be surprised if your body will look balanced with 800cc implants even if your personal taste approves of the look. Additionally, 800cc implants will stretch out the skin dramatically and alter your anatomy so that in time, when you don't want that size, you will need a lift procedure with its attendant scars and cost. Many patients with that much implant weight will begin to develope neck and back pain. In general, I think its a bad idea, but I have not seen or examinied you. Good luck.

The best cosmetic result in
any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors,
including: your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a
thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an
understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper
sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue,
breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as
chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on
implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt,
bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon
choose the optimal implant.Based on your height and weight, 800 cc implants would be excessively large.Keep in mind that following
the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your
desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and
cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would
suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California

If you are 20- and if you have not had kids- then it is likely that your breast tissues and skin are still pretty tight.  Therefore, I doubt that they can stretch enough for what you suggest.  I am not saying that it is not possibly, just that it is risky and that the down-the-road story probably won't be so happy over the years

Based on your height and weight, it seems that 800 cc implants would be far out of proportion for your body.  The bigger the discrepancy of implant size to breast size and tissue, the higher the risk of looking un-natural, disproportionate and  of long term complications.  Undue stretch on the tissues contributes to a higher risk of wrinkling, palpability, capsular contracture, malposition and reoperation.  Overly large implants can also lead to back and neck pain in some patients who are very petite.  Many of these issues may not show up immediately but are sure to be long term issues.  Discuss this matter further with your surgeon.  Hope this helps.

The best way to pick implant size is based on your breast and chest width and not the volume. As the implants get bigger, they get wider. When the width of the implant fits the width of your chest, it will look nice and fit your frame. If the implants are too small, you will have a gap between them and they may look too far apart. If they are too wide, they will make you look top heavy as they may be too wide and stick well out past the sides of your chest. There are ways to get a bigger or smaller look.This can be done by picking a different implant profile. The higher the profile, the narrower the base width of the implant. If someone has a very narrow chest and wants to be big, they should consider a higher profile implant. If someone has a broad chest and they do not want to be too big but want to avoid the gap and still have cleavage without projection, they should consider a lower profile implant such as a moderate. There are options in between these such as the moderate plus. This should be discussed with our surgeon to see what implant would best fit your body shape and goals. I would strongly consider silicone in these alrger sizes. Saline frequently ripples in these alrger implants. 

Thank you for the question.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals, with safety and avoidance of complications being first priority. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers).
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to larger breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.
