Due to my measurements I need to have implants of 1000cc. I want silicone and have been told by my DR. that 800cc is the largest available, that I would have to have pinning on my sides to hold them. I have 800cc expanders in now with a 4/5 inch gap in front where I should have cleavage. I look like a science project. I had a double mastectomy in Feb. due to cancer. I am a larger women and just want to look more normal. Please Help!

Answer: Breast reconstruction Yes, unfortunately the largest gel implants available are 800 cc. You could have a saline implant placed that could be inflated above 900 cc or you could have the 800 cc gel implant with fat grafting for contour improvement. It is best that you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Looking for 1000 cc implants Thank you for your question. There are ways to reconstruct women with a larger frame. 3 basic options:1. If your BMI is less than 40 and your health is otherwise good, you may consider using your own tissue in a DIEP flap procedure. This will give you the volume you desire.2. Placing 800 cc silicone and doing 1-2 fat grafting sessions to add volume and shape over the implant.3. Saline Implants can be overfilled to 1000 cc but the aesthetic result is the poorest with rippling and a more unnatural feel. However, it will fill the bra in clothing wellAll the best.Dr. Gill
