Can I Get XL Pectoral Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m curious about the feasibility of using larger pectoral implant sizes; potentially in the range of 800cc (preferably more )per side. I understand this may be outside typical sizing, so I would really value your professional perspective on what is anatomically achievable and safe.Aesthetically, I’m aiming for a more pronounced and slightly stylized result rather than a strictly natural look.

Specifically, I’m interested in:

Noticeable forward projection of the chest

Clear definition between the pectoral muscles (cleavage)

A somewhat rounder contour rather than a square shape

An overall slightly androgynous, leaning masculine, appearance in shape.

I would appreciate your thoughts on whether this look can be achieved, and if so, what approach or limitations I should be aware of.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

A:Thank you for your inquiry and detailing your specific pectoral implant augmentation objectives. When it comes to large pectoral implants there is a standard size which fits into that description known as the Powerflex Plus pectoral implant, This has a volume of 600 ccs with a maximum projection of 4 cm. This is usually sufficient for most patient objective of extra large pectoral implants and for the patient that has never had a pectoral implant before may be about the biggest size that will fit. While I have made many custom pectoral implants that are larger those patients have to be selected very carefully to ensure that such a large volume can actually be surgically placed.

How this general statement about large pectoral implants applies to you I do not yet know. This will require seeing pictures of your chest as well as knowing what your body frame is (height and weight)
