Curious about 2000cc breast implants. How can I reach my goal size?

There will be a potential for a multitude of problems associated with breast augmentation to this extreme. The problems will be short term and long term. Be sure you are thoroughly educated regarding the risks before proceeding with this surgery.

Hi Sassyfras2118,
2,000cc breast implants on anyones frame, including someone starting at a 38DDD and 5'3/145, are gigantic.
The largest silicone implants out there are 800cc. Some saline implants can be over-filled, but even over-filling an 800-850cc saline implant wont get you nearly to 2,000cc.
Please have a frank conversation with your surgeon about your goals. I would suggest talking with your surgeon about the long term implications of such large implants, especially the question of long term structural support. My fear is that a 2,000cc saline breast augmentation (or anything close to that size) at age 28 will descend halfway to your belly button by the time you are 35...
Hope this helps.

hello, thank you for your question. There are large implant sizes of that volume that do exist. You already have large breasts and adding that size implant may not sit in the same spot as your natural breast tissue. In other words the natural breast tissue will be heavy and sit and at the bottom of the implant and the implant will sit up high. So it wont look great. Of course you can consult with plastic surgeons that will perform this size implant, its custom order and sometimes double implants are used?

Dear Sassyfras2118,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

I know a few surgeons who do this. However I suspect 99 percent of surgeons belyeve it’s just a bad idea. There are very few surgeons who do this. If it was a reasonable thing to do more surgeons would be doing it.
