Can you special order 1000cc+ silicone breast implants and can you overfill saline implants to 1400cc?

Question

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Dakota,
One thing to keep in mind is that the larger the implant, the more likely you
would need revisional surgery.  An average size implant, based on
thousands of patients, is about 350 cc.  For very large implants, some
surgeons will start with a tissue expansion process. Once the tissue is
expanded enough, the large implant is placed. Becker Implant – was popular at one time [the
Becker style 25 was available] and overexpansion was possible to 1200cc. 
When the FDA lifted the moratorium they still considered the Becker
investigational.  That being said the only way to get access to the Becker
implant is through the FDA through a compassionate care approval. 
Probably more trouble than its worth.Mentor
has a Moderate Plus saline – the 800cc moderate plus saline that they currently
offer can be over expanded to 960cc. Trials for larger gel implants in the
range of 900 -1400 are about to begin, but there is no guarantee you could get
in the study.Some companies will custom
make 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 and
1400 cc implants would weigh 3 lbs.If
implants this size are placed in your body, the added weight will strain your
skin resulting in descent of your breasts and complications requiring revision
in a very short period of time.You
simply cannot exceed the capacity of the body by overloading them with implants
this size.I do not understand your
desired 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

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.

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
