Has the FDA yet approved any implants greater than 800 cc? I was told that one or more manufacturers was seeking permission.

A more important question to ask, in my opinion, is whether an implant of that size is a "safe" option or not.We know that a progressive increase in implant size is accompanied by a consequent increase in weight. This weight must be supported by the tissues of your breast; more specifically the tissues at the bottom of your breast.Before considering an implant of such a size, you should carefully consider the potential impact on your long term appearance and the current strength of your breast tissue.  If you have been through significant weight change, you've had noticeable breast changes from pregnancy, or are at a more advanced age, you may have a very short-lived pleasing appearance if you use an implant of that size.A Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon would be the best person to advise you on your options.  He or she can examine your breasts and provide you with the best advise for the most pleasing long term result. I'd suggest a consultation before setting your sights on a particular implant volume. Best of luck.

Thanks so much for your question. Mentor is in clinical trials for silicone/gel implants larger than 800cc's. It's difficult to know for certain when it will be available because it's based on both Mentor and FDA time tables. In the meantime saline implants are available that can be filled to 960cc's.  Also you can have custom silicone/gel implants made that are other sizes.  Hope that helps.
