Breast Augmentation Patient Information - SIZE VS. FILL LEVEL: Manufacturers usually size saline breast implants over a range of approximately 30 cc; fill to the uppermost end of the range is considered "overfilling". The concept of overfilling has arisen due to changes in manufacturers' labeling of breast implant sizes in response to FDA dictates. Today an implant of size 270 cc to 300 cc would be considered overfilled if filled to a volume of 300 cc. Dr. Zevon believes that correct fill volume is key in the prevention of rippling.
