Staten Island Breast Implants doctors

You are certainly age appropriate for surgery.  Surgical augmentation with implants  is the one tried and true method for enlarging breast size.  Supplements are not FDA approved and fat grafting bears its own risks and complications.  The herbal supplements, in all likelihood, contain estrogen or hormone substitutes and may be implicated, down the road, in breast cancer so I would stay far away from them. Best of luck.

There are many options for breast implants.

1-Smooth versus textured.

2-Round versus anatomic

3- High, Middle and Low profile.

Today we will discuss number 3!

Profile describes the ration of implant width to amount of projection.

For example a 300 cc implant comes in 3 profiles

300 low profile (allergan)   width - 12.5 cm      projection - 3.4 cm

300 middle profile               width - 11.9 cm      projection 4.1 cm

300 high profile                    width - 10.5           projection 5.2

for each profile implant as the volume goes up, both width and projection will increase, but in a different ratio. For instance, low profile implants get wider with less projection, high profile implants will get more projection and less width.

So what is best for you?

If you have pointy breasts - a low profile implant may balance out breast shape.

If you have flat breasts - a middle or high profile implant may be right.

If you have a wide chest width - then a low profile implant may be necessary to add cleavage and break off the chest wall.

A narrow chest may do better with a high profile implant.

If you are assymetrical, different volumes or profiles may help to equal things out. Discuss this with your surgeon, it sounds like he/she is precise with measurements and may be doing exactly what is needed for your situation. Good Luck.
