Based on studies showing increased complications with implants bigger than 800cc, that is what was approved for use in the United States.
Thank you for your question about breast implant sizes. 800cc is what the FDA determined to be the largest size for implants as larger implants can present a higher complication rate. Some physicians however do offer overfilled saline breast implants, however this would require an in person consultation and thorough discussion of long term risks and benefits. I hope this has beenhelpful and I wish you all the best.Brian S.Coan, MD, FACSRaleigh-DurhamPlastic Surgeon
