How huge? We talking Chelsea huge or Minka huge? Either way good luck!
One step at a time blondie, and I am glad you think like that too. After March we'll see if trhe boobie greed bug is still active (I wish it was, but of course the decision is all yours)
So I got some feedback from my friend the implant engineer, after sharing the details with him. Here's a synopsis of what he had to say:No you cannot inflate a Breast Implant to 100 times its intended volume. NuSil is a leader in Medical Device Silicone. They supply most of the Breast Implant companies. Here’s a link to their Implantable Grade Silicone Dispersions which can be used to make a Breast Implant Shell. http://www.nusil.com/products/healthcare/unrestricted/dispersions.aspx Note that MED-6640 has the highest elongation value at 1000%, which means it will not fail if stretched to 10 times it’s length.He notes also that in that comparative pic posted earlier, the one on the right is at most 3,000cc, no way is it 30,000cc.He adds that it might be possible that they once got an implant to 30,000cc (100x rated fill), but essentially to say "hey we got there once" and then using it as a marketing claim. I would compare that to finding a light bulb which has been running non-stop for 50 years and saying "hey we make light bulbs that last 50 years running non-stop!". Anyone who has ever looked at a light bulb package knows the typical lifetime claims.
How much do you guys think Allergan 2000cc expanders can be filled to safely?
Well, I know Dr. Pousti is taking 800cc implants to 4500cc, so I think that's 5x their rated size. If my 2000cc expanders could go 10x that would be 20,000cc. I'm not sure expanders can go 10x their rating. That's a lot of saline...
Hi Ample Ann. Taking them to 10x the rated size (+900% on top of the rated size) is calling for a rupture.Even from 800 to 4500 it is rated size + 460%. It is a lot. The doctor and the client need to feel comfortable with this.
