As mass increases the event horizon increases no matter which of the current belief systems is used for its construction. This seems a little strange for the singularity model, which is probably what prompted your question. Once the singularity is formed you would think that it could not grow further, but a belief in the slowdown of time is what saves this eventuality. It takes an extremely long time for the matter interring a BH to make it to the singularity so that the mass continues to warp space more and more as it builds up inside the event horizon. In effect the singularity cannot totally form because it takes too long to complete the process. This is one reason I do not accept the singularity model, it is too bizarre to consider something that forces its own non-creation.
