01
Above the Muscle
The implant is placed beneath the breast tissue and above the chest muscle. This approach keeps the implant entirely over the muscle and may provide a more direct breast augmentation effect.
XL Breast Augmentation Seattle
Standard breast augmentation has some limitations, and some patients have no interest in stopping there. XL breast implants exist for that exact group, offering a level of volume most clinics do not even bring up until a patient asks for it directly. Implant size is measured in cubic centimeters (cc), and options may include 1000cc, 1200cc, 1400cc or larger, depending on chest width, existing breast tissue and skin quality.
Allure Esthetic in Seattle offers one of the best XL breast augmentation planned around an individual’s anatomy and desired outcome, and no single cc number picked off a chart.
What Are XL Breast Implants?
XL breast implants are not a single standardized product. The term describes a category of larger-volume augmentation rather than one universal implant size. Some practices consider implants of 700cc and above to be XL, while others reserve the label for volumes over 1000cc. What matters is that a breast implant XL in size sits well beyond the range used in most traditional augmentations, which typically fall between 300cc and 500cc.
Implant volume is measured in cubic centimeters because cc is a precise, repeatable measurement. Cup size is not. Bra sizing varies between manufacturers, changes based on band size, and depends on how much natural breast tissue you start with. Two patients who receive identical implants can wear different cup sizes afterward.
This is also why the same implant can look different on each individual. A 900cc implant on a broad chest with generous natural tissue creates a fuller but proportionate look. The same 900cc implant on a narrow, petite chest produces a far more dramatic change. When you evaluate large breast implants, the number is only the starting point. Your chest measurements, tissue thickness, and skin quality determine how that volume actually appears.

XL Breast Implants Before and After Results
Photos are one of the most useful tools for setting realistic expectations. Patients researching xl breast implants before after results are typically trying to understand how a given volume translates into an actual outcome, not just a number on a chart. Where possible, each case in Allure Esthetic is shown with the implant volume, implant type and relevant surgical details so patients can compare cases that are closest to their own starting anatomy.
How Large Are XL Breast Implants?
Implant volume ranges from moderate to extremely large, and each range comes with different tissue and anatomical requirements.
700cc Breast Implants
Considered a large-volume implant. Requires adequate chest width and tissue coverage to look proportionate.
800cc Breast Implants
A step above 700cc, generally suited to patients with wider chest dimensions.
900cc Breast Implants
Sits at the entry point of the XL range for many practices, though this varies by anatomy.
1000cc Breast Implants
One of the most frequently requested sizes. Patients asking about 1000 cc breast implants are usually looking for a substantial, noticeable change in breast volume.
1200cc Breast Implants
A very large implant that demands closer evaluation of skin elasticity and existing tissue.
1400cc Breast Implants
An extra-large implant. Whether 1400 cc breast implants are appropriate depends heavily on chest width, tissue quality and the patient's overall anatomy.
1500cc+ Breast Implants
Extremely large volume that may require additional surgical planning and is not appropriate for every patient.
Is XL Breast Augmentation Right for You
Choosing extra large breast implants is a significant decision, and candidacy depends on more than personal preference.
Candidacy Generally Includes
- A desire for a significantly larger breast appearance
- Realistic expectations about outcome and recovery
- Adequate breast tissue and skin support
- Sufficient chest width for the implant under consideration
- General medical fitness for elective surgery
- An understanding of the long-term considerations tied to larger implants
XL Breast Implant Sizing Why 1000cc Doesn't Look the Same on Everyone?
A 1000cc implant on one patient will not necessarily look the same as 1000cc on another. Several anatomical factors influence the final appearance:
- Chest width
- Breast base diameter
- Existing breast volume
- Tissue thickness
- Skin elasticity
- Implant profile and projection
- Implant shape
- Placement above or below the muscle
- Overall body proportions
Because so many variables affect the outcome, implant volume is only one part of the planning process. Profile, projection and placement are weighed together with cc size to arrive at a result that fits the patient's frame.
Free Breast Implant Vector 3D Simulation
Allure Esthetic offers a free Breast Implant Vector 3D Simulation as part of the planning process for XL breast augmentation.
The 3D simulation allows patients to compare how different implant volumes and profiles may translate onto their own frame, rather than relying on photos of other patients alone. It is a visualization tool, not a guarantee of the final surgical result, since healing, tissue response and swelling all affect the outcome over time. The simulation works alongside a physical exam and chest measurements, giving patients a more informed starting point before committing to a specific implant size.
1000cc vs 1400cc Breast Implants
01
1000cc Breast Implants
1000cc implants deliver a substantial increase in breast volume and are one of the most commonly requested sizes among patients pursuing large breast augmentation. Adequate tissue coverage and chest width are still required, and the visual effect depends on implant profile as much as volume.
02
1400cc Breast Implants
1400cc implants sit at the higher end of the XL range. Greater volume brings greater projection and added weight, which places more demand on skin and tissue support. Not every patient's anatomy can safely accommodate this size, which is why an in-person evaluation is necessary before any size is confirmed.
03
Which Size Is Better?
There is no universally "best" XL implant size. The right choice depends on anatomy, tissue support, implant dimensions, skin quality and the patient's personal goals, not on which number sounds most dramatic.
What Do XL Breast Implant Results Look Like?
XL breast implant results change over the weeks following surgery. Swelling is most noticeable in the first stretch of recovery, and the breasts often sit higher than their final position at first. As swelling resolves, implants settle into a more natural position and the skin gradually adjusts to the new volume. Because every patient heals differently, the final shape and position can continue shifting for weeks after the initial procedure.
What Can Affect Your XL Breast Implant Results?
- Implant size and profile
- Implant placement
- Existing tissue quality
- Skin elasticity
- Chest anatomy
- Healing response
- Lifestyle factors during recovery
- Surgical technique
Silicone vs Saline XL Breast Implants
Silicone XL Breast Implants
Silicone implants are filled with cohesive gel and are generally described as closer in feel to natural breast tissue, which becomes more noticeable at larger volumes.
Saline XL Breast Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and are inserted empty before being filled, which can allow for a smaller incision.
Which Implant Type Is Right for You?
Neither option is universally "better." The decision depends on feel, rippling risk, incision preference, tissue coverage and personal priorities, and it is discussed individually during consultation rather than assumed in advance.
At larger volumes, the difference between silicone and saline becomes more noticeable, particularly in terms of rippling and how the implant feels under thinner tissue. Patients with less natural tissue coverage are often steered toward a more detailed conversation about which material better suits their frame before a final decision is made.
Implant Profile, Shape and Projection for XL Breast Augmentation
Implant Profile
Profile refers to how far an implant projects from the chest wall. Moderate, high and extra-high projection options exist, and profile has a major effect on how a given cc volume ultimately appears.
Round vs Anatomical Implants
Round implants create uniform fullness throughout the breast, while anatomical (teardrop) implants are shaped to taper toward the top, mimicking a more gradual slope.
Width vs Projection
Volume alone does not determine appearance. A 1000cc implant with a wider base and lower profile can look noticeably different from a 1000cc implant with a narrower base and higher projection, even though the cc number is identical.
How Is XL Breast Augmentation Performed at Allure Esthetic?
Before the Surgery
1. Consultation and Measurements
Everything starts with a consultation with the surgeon. The chest width is measured, tissue quality and skin elasticity are assessed to narrow down appropriate implant options.
2. Implant Selection and 3D Simulation
Patients are then scanned using the free vector 3D scanning available in the clinic. Once done, patients are then allowed to choose and review their implant size, profile and shape according to their wish.
3. Surgical Planning
The surgical approach, incision site and placement technique are finalized ahead of the procedure date.
During the Surgery
4. Anesthesia
Anesthesia is administered by a qualified provider before the procedure begins.
5. Incision
An incision is made at a predetermined site chosen to minimize visible scarring where possible.
6. Implant Placement
The implant is positioned above the muscle, below the muscle, or using a dual-plane technique, based on the surgical plan.
7. Closing the Incision
Incisions are closed in layers to support healing and scar quality.
After the Surgery
8. Recovery and Follow-Up
Patients are monitored during initial recovery and scheduled for follow-up visits to track healing progress. The procedure is completed in a single visit and patients move into monitored recovery immediately afterward.
Where Are XL Breast Implants Placed?
Dr. Sajan uses some of his unique approaches to place the XL breast implants with reduced scar. Some of them are:
02
Below the Muscle
The implant is positioned beneath the chest muscle, providing additional tissue coverage over the upper portion of the implant. This approach can help create a smoother transition between the upper chest and breast.
03
Dual-Plane Placement
Dual-plane placement combines both techniques. The upper portion of the implant is positioned beneath the chest muscle, while the lower portion remains beneath the breast tissue. This allows the implant to benefit from muscle coverage while maintaining fullness in the lower breast.
XL Breast Augmentation Recovery
Initial recovery after XL breast augmentation is approximately 3 to 5 days, though full healing takes considerably longer.
First 24 to 48 Hours
Swelling, tightness and limited mobility are common during this period, and rest is prioritized.
01
Days 3 to 5
Many patients return to light daily activity, though heavier lifting and strenuous movement remain restricted.
02
First 1 to 2 Weeks
Swelling gradually decreases and comfort continues to improve, though the breasts have not yet reached their final position.
03
Weeks 3 to 6
Activity restrictions are typically eased in stages, with exercise reintroduced gradually and only when cleared.
04
XL Breast Implant Risks and Considerations
Large-volume breast augmentation carries the same general surgical risks as standard breast augmentation, along with additional considerations tied to implant size. Some of them might include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Implant displacement
- Asymmetry
- Rippling
- Implant rupture
- Capsular contracture
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Skin stretching
- Visible implant edges
- Breast tissue thinning over time
- Back, neck or shoulder discomfort
- Potential need for future surgery
- Potential need for a breast lift
These risks are reduced if done by a certified and experienced surgeon. Dr. Sajan makes sure every surgery is done in such a way that reduces risks and complications coming through the surgery
XL Breast Implants vs Breast Lift
Breast implants primarily add volume. A breast lift primarily raises and reshapes existing breast tissue, addressing sagging rather than size. Patients with significant sagging or loose skin may be advised to combine XL breast augmentation with a breast lift to achieve a result that looks proportionate rather than simply larger.
XL Breast Implant Cost in Seattle
XL breast augmentation at Allure Esthetic starts at $12,500, including implants. Pricing for breast augmentation at Allure Esthetic can include the surgeon's services, facility fees, computer imaging, operating room costs, anesthesia, surgical materials and pre- and postoperative visits, and patients should confirm exactly what is included in their individual quote during consultation.
What Can Affect the Final Cost?
- Implant selection
- Surgical complexity
- Whether a breast lift is added
- Revision surgery
- Additional procedures performed at the same time
- Special implant requirements
Does Insurance Cover XL Breast Augmentation?
Elective cosmetic breast augmentation is generally not covered by insurance,
though patients should verify their specific plan directly with their provider, since coverage details vary.
XL Breast Augmentation vs Traditional Breast Augmentation
| Factor | Traditional Augmentation | XL Augmentation |
|---|---|---|
| Implant volume | Usually smaller | Larger-volume implants |
| Goal | Subtle to moderate increase | More dramatic increase |
| Planning | Individualized | Often requires more detailed planning |
| Tissue demands | Vary | Often greater |
| Skin considerations | Important | Especially important |
| Recovery | Individual | May be more demanding |
| Long-term considerations | Implant-related | Additional size and weight considerations |
Large Breast Augmentation for Different Body Types
XL Implants for Petite Frames
Narrower chest widths generally limit how large an implant can be placed proportionately, regardless of desired size.
XL Implants for Wider Chests
A wider chest can often accommodate a larger implant base, which affects both size options and final appearance.
XL Implants After Pregnancy
Pregnancy-related changes in tissue and skin elasticity are factored into implant selection and placement planning.
XL Implants After Weight Loss
Weight loss can reduce existing breast tissue and skin elasticity, both of which affect implant sizing decisions.
XL Implants for Existing Breast Implants
Patients replacing older implants with an extra large breast implant may need additional evaluation of existing tissue stretch and capsule condition.
The same implant volume is not equally appropriate across these situations, which is why anatomy is assessed individually in every case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are XL breast implants?
XL breast implants are larger-volume breast implants, generally starting in the 700cc to 900cc range and extending to 1400cc or more, chosen for a more dramatic increase in breast size.
What is considered an XL breast implant?
There is no single fixed threshold. Different practices define the XL range differently, though it generally refers to implants well above the volume used in traditional breast augmentation.
How many cc is an XL breast implant?
XL implants typically range from around 700cc up to 1500cc or more, depending on the practice and the patient's anatomy.
Can I get 1000cc breast implants?
Possibly, depending on chest width, tissue coverage and skin quality, which are assessed during an in-person consultation.
Can I get 1400cc breast implants?
Possibly, though 1400cc requires closer evaluation of anatomy before it can be confirmed as a safe option.
What is the largest breast implant size?
The maximum safe size depends on individual anatomy and implant dimensions rather than a single universal number.
Do XL breast implants look natural?
Appearance depends on implant profile, placement and the patient's existing anatomy, not on volume alone, so results vary from patient to patient.
How long does XL breast augmentation take?
The procedure at Allure Esthetic typically takes approximately one hour, though this can vary by case.
How much do XL breast implants cost in Seattle?
XL breast augmentation at Allure Esthetic starts at $12,500, including implants.
Are XL breast implants safe?
When performed by a qualified surgeon on an appropriate candidate, XL breast augmentation carries the same general risks as standard breast augmentation, along with additional considerations tied to larger implant size.
Can XL implants cause back pain?
Added implant weight can contribute to back, neck or shoulder discomfort in some patients, particularly without adequate tissue and chest support.
How long do XL breast implants last?
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and most patients should expect the possibility of replacement or revision surgery at some point over the years.
Can I see XL breast implants before and after photos?
Yes, real before and after cases are available through Allure Esthetic's gallery, with implant details provided where verified.
When Do XL Breast Implants Settle?
Implants continue settling into their final position for weeks after a patient has resumed normal daily activity, since swelling reduction and tissue adjustment take time.
Can XL Implants Stretch the Skin?
Yes. Larger implants place more demand on skin elasticity, and over time this can lead to thinning or stretching, especially in patients with less tissue coverage to begin with.
Can I Need a Breast Lift Later?
Some patients eventually require a breast lift after extra large breast augmentation, particularly if skin elasticity decreases or sagging develops over the years following surgery.
