Will overfilling 450cc saline implants to 500 cc or 550 cc make a difference? Cc's Yay or Nay. . .

Question

I'm scheduled to get 450 cc saline implants under the muscle here in a few days. Will overfilling to 500 or 550ccs Really Make a difference in Size or feel?

Jeremy Hunt, MBBS, FRACS · Answer

Overfilling the implant will make a difference in size, but in this case it is only 10% and may be not minimally perceptible when it comes to the final result. The advantage though of overfilling is it will minimize rippling, and if the tissue coverage is minimal then this will be a greast advantage

Overfilling saline implants within the company's suggested range will make a difference in volume, size, shape and at times feel.  The more the volume the firmer the "feel" of the implant.

Craig S. Rock, MD, FACS · Answer

I generally fill a saline implant to the upper limit of the manufacturer's recommended fill range, to decrease the chances of rippling.  Overfilling the implant will make it feel firmer, can change the shape of the implant, and may actually cause rippling along the edge of the implant.

John Paletta, MD · Answer

Depends on the type of implant.  High profile come with a range I tend to fill between minimum and 50% of the upper range, beyond that they feel too hard.  For moderate profile implants I do not like to stay at the minimum and prefer to be at the upper range to minimize rippling.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Saline implants have a range of volumes from minimum to maximum.  I generally fill to the maximum to minimize rippling, but I typically do not overfill unless there is a compelling reason to do so.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
