Breast augmentation with implants is a common cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and increase the size of breasts. While most breast augmentation procedures use small to large implants designed to give a natural boost in volume, the use of extra-large implants, or those over 800cc in volume, are often chosen to dramatically enhance the bustline and deliver a more prominent increase in volume. The implant type and size you choose can play a vital role in both your procedure and recovery, so here we look at some of the pros and cons associated with the use of extra-large breast implants.
Pros
Choosing extra-large breast implants offers many benefits to those looking for a more drastic change in their appearance. Pros for this breast augmentation can include:
- Dramatic change in appearance
- A more proportional figure, especially in women with larger hips
- More pronounced curves that accentuate the waistline
- Improved confidence
Cons
Just as extra-large breast implants offer many pros, there are cons associated with these types of implants which can include:
- The need to find a surgeon experienced with extra-large implants
- Increased risk of complications during recovery, such as numbness, implant rupture, and breast tissue thinning
- Difficulty finding a bra that fits correctly after recovery
- Back and shoulder pain caused by the additional weight of the implants
- Difficulty sleeping, especially for those who are stomach sleepers
- Extra-large breast implants can hinder your ability to perform certain activities, such as jogging or running
- Increased risk of sagging due to weight
