The size of implants you are considering is far beyond the normal range. It is essential to discuss this with your plastic surgeon and undergo an evaluation to determine the appropriate size that can fit your chest wall. In some cases, placement above the muscle may be necessary. It is important to have open and detailed conversations with your surgeon to ensure the best outcome.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Currently, the largest silicone implants available are 800cc, while saline implants can be overfilled to reach sizes exceeding 2000cc. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Implants of such large sizes are rare, whether they are saline or silicone. It is important to seek the expertise of a highly skilled plastic surgeon who can guide you in making appropriate choices that will result in balance and symmetry with your overall body shape.

Larger breast implants can be placed after a period of time due to tissue stretch. The largest saline breast implant available in the US is 960 cc, while the largest silicone implant is 800 cc. Discuss with a plastic surgeon to determine the appropriate implant size for your desired outcome.
