Hi Dakota,One thing to keep in mind is that the larger the implant, the more likely youwould need revisional surgery. An average size implant, based onthousands of patients, is about 350 cc. For very large implants, somesurgeons will start with a tissue expansion process. Once the tissue isexpanded enough, the large implant is placed. Becker Implant – was popular at one time [theBecker style 25 was available] and overexpansion was possible to 1200cc. When the FDA lifted the moratorium they still considered the Beckerinvestigational. That being said the only way to get access to the Beckerimplant is through the FDA through a compassionate care approval. Probably more trouble than its worth.Mentorhas a Moderate Plus saline – the 800cc moderate plus saline that they currentlyoffer can be over expanded to 960cc. Trials for larger gel implants in therange of 900 -1400 are about to begin, but there is no guarantee you could getin the study.Some companies will custommake the size of reconstructive implants, which is pricey. The answers below are worth noting, too. All the best, “Dr. Joe”
1000 cc implants weigh approximately 2 lbs and1400 cc implants would weigh 3 lbs.Ifimplants this size are placed in your body, the added weight will strain yourskin resulting in descent of your breasts and complications requiring revisionin a very short period of time.Yousimply cannot exceed the capacity of the body by overloading them with implantsthis size.I do not understand yourdesired goal, but I guarantee these implants will not be stable long term.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Hello and thanks for your question.There are many risks and possible complication that you may encounter as you place very large implants. If you decide on an implant surgery as well, then perhaps you would need different implant selection and different pocket creation in order to achieve best results.There are several factors that are very important in determing the shape:-Pre-operative shape-Pre-operative dimension and diameter of the breast-The amount and quality of breast tissue and skin-Implant size, shape and profile-Careful dissection of the pocketIn our office, we use actual implant in the pre-operative period to determine the size.Best Wishes,Dr Sajjadian
I have not found any of the three companies willing to make extra large silicone implants but the large salines can be overfilled to almost double, I would not really recommend something like that though
In the United States, the only option for patients looking for larger breasts implants, (greater than 800 cc) are overfilled saline filled implants. You may find the attached link, dedicated to larger breast augmentation outcomes, helpful to you. Best wishes.
As you could see from the previous comments, there are not big silicone implants available in the US (legally). The biggest saline implants can be overfilled, however there are 2 important details you need to take in consideration, the manufacturing company might void the warranty (something you will have to deal with the company directly) and the more overfill you perform the harder the implant become (and less natural it looks and feel).Be sure you see a surgeon member of the American Society for Aesthetic surgery, that will assure you the plastic surgeon is board certified and his practice is dedicated to cosmetic surgery
Of the three U.S. manufacturers, the largest silicone implant size is 800cc as you probably know. There is no longer any special ordering of larger implant sizes in the U.S., the manufacturers simply won't make them for a limited number of cases. There are larger silicone implant sizes available in other countries, and while some surgeons do bring them into the states, they do so illegally and at risk of their medical license. The largest saline breast implant is 800cc but it can be filled to 1400cc without any immediate problems although the implant will feel more firm. Whether this invalidates your warranty, and whether that is of any concern to a particular patient who wants an extra large breast augmentation is another matter.
There are no more custom implants available in the U.S. I fairly routinely fill saline implants up to as much as 2000cc. You need to be sure you see someone with experience doing this, sometimes it needs to be done in stages and you must be CERTAIN you want that large because of long term changes to breast tissue and skin.
I have specialized in XL breast implants for many years. I have a special arrangement with a couple of breast tissue expander companies as well as custom XL silicone manufacturer and have offices in California/Miami/Nassau/ANGUILLA AND ITALY. Some of my patients have gone well beyond the size that you wish to be! I woiuld suggest you visit my website specifically for XL patients below.I am available for FACETIME/SKYPE/Whatsup video consultations.
Overfulling implants above manufacturers recommendations will likely invalidate your warranty. Uncerain why you would want that large a volume.
While your question is important, it is a bit backwards. An implant doesn't by itself produce a certain appearance. It is the combination of the implant and the native breast anatomy that will produce a certain result. Implant style and sizes should be chosen by what is required to produce a...
Sounds like you should be ok but ya you probably over did it for 2 weeks after surgery. The breast muscle is sore for about a month and anything that upsets it will really feel awful for a while
I am sure you have tried sizers on your consultation and if it's a matter between 200 cc vs 225 cc you will not see significant difference as they are only within 10% of each other. The implant will help shape the breast mound and give you a nice shape. When in doubt try the sizers again...
