Is there a surgeon in the United States that can and will use a silicone breast implants larger than 800cc?
Answer: Surgeon in US Who Uses More Than 800cc Silicone Implants? The use of larger breast implants can be problematic (more so than smaller breast implants), both physically and psychosocially. Therefore, careful patient selection is key. On the other hand, some of my happiest and most grateful patients, our patients with “extra large” breast augmentation surgery. You may find the attached link, dedicated to “extra large” breast augmentation concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. In our practice, breast implants larger than 800 cc in size, are saline filled. Best wishes.

Answer: Implants larger than 800 cc
The implant manufacturers in the U.S. do not make a silicone implant over 800 cc. There are large trade-offs with implants this size, both in the short and especially in the long run.
Have a good long conversation with your board certified plastic surgeon, (actually I would suggest more than one), about the benefits and risks of going this large.

Answer: Extremely big implants! I am not personally aware of breast implants that are available in the USA that are larger than 800 cc. I would agree with my colleagues that there is probably good reason why there is not a lot of instances when this large of an implant would be indicated.

Answer: Extra large silicone gel implants Ther is a reason you are having trouble finding someone who will place silicone gel breast implants (or any kind of breast implant, fo that matter) larger than 800 cc. and there is a reason that they are not made larger routinely. Is it not a good idea to place implants this large and one can run into many problems down the road from trying to do so. There are higher profile implants which are made that will provide additional projection beyond what may be natural, if that is your thing; but I do not utilize these in my routine practice.

Answer: You may be able to achieve the look you want without the risks of these large implants Hi there- I would agree with my colleagues that it is usually not in your best interests to have extremely large implants placed, as they will introduce risks to your long term happiness and comfort with your breasts. I can think of a few exceptions, depending on your body type, but in most cases we CAN achieve the LOOK of very large breasts by repositioning and shaping the mound on the body, so that the fulness provided by a more conventional implant achieves your goal. It is very important that you find a very experienced breast surgeon- this will be much more important than the implants in achieving your goal. Good luck!
