I want to go 3000cc. Will my 800cc implants hold that much? (Photo)

Question

I have 2000cc now but breasts are not completely filled. I have extra skin. I like to go 3000cc. Will my 800cc implants hold that much?

Donald R. Revis Jr, MD · Answer

Good morning!Yes indeed it will- I perform over 200 XL augmentations a year, and currently the largest saline shells we have in the U.S. are the Mentor 800-960cc shells which I fill to the desired volume. As you probably already know, silicone implants top out at 800cc currently although an FDA trial is underway for larger silicone gel implants up to 1400cc.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

As long as you get larger and larger implants, the skin will stretch more and more and will become thinner and thinner. I don’t know how much 800 cc implants will stretch and can be inflated. I would not press the issue any further. At some point you will have    problems to deal with.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

You have excess skin because the already large implants have stretched the breasts. In good conscious, no plastic surgeon should consider this procedure.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, you should not have your implants overfilled to 3000 cc's. All you will be doing is reducing the lifespan of your implants, overstretching your skin and tissue, and causing quicker sagging of too large breasts. Your neck and shoulders will not like the weight of 3000 cc's. I doubt you will find a surgeon that will do this harm to your body.
