FAQs for Large Breast Augmentation & Why Women Love Big

Do you want extra large breasts? If you are clear about what you want and extra large is your desire, then time to educate yourselves regarding important things about very big breasts. Here are a few frequently asked questions with regard to going bigger in breast size.  

Is there a limit to being big?

According to doctors, your anatomy limits you with regard to how big you can go in the first implant surgery and then how bigger you can go in consecutive surgeries.

Also, there is a limit to the implant volume available in the US at present. Implants of size ranging from 800cc to 1000cc are large. What you usually see in photos all around the web or elsewhere are normal sizes that range from 300cc to 400cc.

Extra large breast augmentation, according to surgeons, is mostly 1000cc or more. In patients with smaller structures, it could be lesser. Some patients with bigger frames may even go upto 2200cc.

For XL breast implant surgery, saline implants are the sole choice.

How is it done?

Surgery to achieve extra large breasts is similar to any breast augmentation surgery. However, in case of XL implants, surgeons must be particular about stabilizing the patient’s infra-mammary fold. They usually do this using internal sutures or reinforcing products.

What are the risks involved?

Any cosmetic procedure comes with a set of risks. A skilled and experienced surgeon can lower the rate of risk. However, in case of XL breast augmentation, the risk is higher than normal breast augmentation.

Issues that may arise include:

• Position issues
• Shape issues
• Issues in healing of incision wounds
• Stretch of skin due to extra weight and size of implants
• Bridging of midline skin 
• Thinning or changes in the natural overlying breast tissue over time 

Patients who wish to go smaller in size later in life may require an additional breast lift to tackle the sagging and skin stretching issues.

How to achieve the perfect large breast augmentation?

One of the most vital components of a successful XL breast enhancement surgery is the excellent stretching of the patient’s existing tissues of breasts. This should happen without any adverse effect on the natural blood flow to the breasts.

To maintain flexibility and strength of breast tissues, patients have two choices:

• To gradually increase the size of implants through a course of surgeries in an interval of a few months. 
• To use breast tissue expands. 

A breast tissue expander is nothing but an empty implant. The surgeon inserts this empty implant in your breast. Then he or she fills this implant with normal saline solution in a course of six to eight weeks till it reaches the size you want. 

The advantage of expanders is that they let your skin increase its flexibility over time. This avoids skin stretching issues.

Whether you wish to go a full C or D or maybe an E, please consult a surgeon specializing in breast enhancement in Frederick. The size of implants depends on your overall body frame, chest size, existing breast size, thickness of your breast skin, and others.
