I had my saline breast implants replaced 6 months ago to 450cc's filled to 475 and 525. I am not pleased with the results. They are full on bottom but not on top. I was advised that I can have them refilled to 700 cc's or replace them again for a bigger size entirely. I know overfilling is not recommended my the manufacturer. However, I am seeking the big, round fake look as I had before as opposed to big and natural as they look now. The scars will be removed later along with moving down and minimize my nipples.

Answer: Overfilling Breast Implants Saline implants have a range with which they can be filled. A minimum fill and a maximum fill which varies depending on the implant size. You can safely overfill an implant above its maximum fill volume by 10 - 15 %. Beyond that, the risk of deformation of the implant edge is high resulting in the look of implant rippling.

Answer: Overfilling saline breast implants
Many plastic surgeons routinely overfill saline implants to about 10% of their labeled volume. There is a range on each implant that the manufacturer has for that particular implant. The actual fill is up to the surgeon trying to achive the goals that you set out upon to achieve. In your case, there are a few variables at play Achieving the significant upper pole fullness that you have in the first photo may be difficult, depending on your skin resilience, how much extra skin you may have, etc. One would have to examine you to determine this. Typically one would also remove and replace the implant if you are going significantly larger, again that is for your plastic surgeon to determine.
