Can 800cc saline implants be overfilled to 1050cc? (Photo)

Dear LolaBell13,
you should ask your plastic surgeon whether he can fill 800cc implant to 1050cc. Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. 
When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.
Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.
Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.
You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Great question!  Technically, yes it is possible but not recommend.  Its like blowing up a balloon, eventually too much volume will pop.  If you have implants overinflated that much, beyond what the manufacturer is recommending, then you will void the warranty on the implants.  Also the chances of the implant rupturing are significantly higher.  As long as you are willing to take on these risks, then it is possible.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Your asymmetry may be accentuated by the larger implants. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).

Good afternoon!The answer is yes- I perform over 200 augmentations a year with overfilled saline implants. Patients love them!

I usually fill to the recommended max specified by the manufacturer, but many other plastic surgeons I have worked with have overfilled.  Ask your PS if the maximum fill of the 800cc saline breast implant you are considering is 1200 and whether the implant will still feel relatively soft at that fill.  Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
