A recent study in Aesthetic Surgery Journal has shown that saline breast implants can be filled safely far more that the manufacturer’s recommended volume. In the study, saline breast implants that were filled over 50% above the manufacturer’s recommended volume were considered firm and those breast implants filled 50 percent below manufacturer's recommended volume were considered soft. Overfilling did not affect the shell mechanical properties, shell toughness or strength and shell elasticity was not affected.
Dr. Michael Omidi, M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at TopSurgeons.com relates that it is common practice for many plastic surgeons to slightly overfill saline breast implants if necessary. “Though slight overfilling can be done, as patient safety is paramount, in our consult, we discuss the exact size of breast implants to ensure the best possible outcome and a happy patient.”
