Newport Beach Breast Augmentation and Orange County Breast Implants

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Ask Doctor Grover - Adding more saline to Breast Implants after surgery?
Yes, you can add more saline to your current implants; however, it is generally not advised. First of all, each saline implant has a certain fill range that is recommended for each sized implant. If you exceed the recommended volume by too much it will increase your chances for scalloping along the edges and will make your implant and breast much harder.

Additionally, you may void your warranty on your implants as you are potentially damaging the one-way valve.

Realize, surgery is not without potential risk, so consider your options seriously. Another thing to consider is which technique was used to place your implant. If it was placed by the periareolar or inframammary approach, one could fill it up more, but if the implant was placed via the transaxillary (underarm) or transumbilical approach, you will damage the implant.
