Implant

There is very little difference in the look of high or moderate profile breast implants at these low volumes.

225 cc or 250 cc? MP or HP?

25 cc is such a small difference in volume that this is difficult to appreciate. I would agree that MP vs HP at this volume has little difference in result.

Implant size

To be honest, there is not much difference between the 225 and 250 volumes. You are talking about a few millimeters of difference in the width and perhaps projection. I'm sure you will look great! Best wishes. Dr. Basu Houston, TX

Small Volume Breast Augmentation Choices

The reality is that a 25cc difference in breast implant volumes nor a medium vs a high profile at these implant sizes will really make much of a difference, if any, in your final result. With your small body frame, you will do well with any of the choices you have mentioned and I would not get hung up on these minor implant difference details.

Implants and volume

Choosing the right implant profile and volume really depends upon your exam and personal desires. 25 cc volume difference is not much.

Best Breast Implant Profile for Narrow Frames:

A higher profle implant can be helpfull in situiations in which the desired implant volume would be overly wide as compared to the width of the chest. The high profile implant is narrower in diameter and has more projection than the same volume moderate profile implant

Which Profile Implant is Best?

Thanks for posting that question! Simply put, the profile of the implant is determined by your breast diameter measurements taken during your consultation and the size if implant chosen by you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Too many patients get caught up on the "profile" when in reality you cannot pick and choose which profile you want without risking a poor cosmetic outcome. Your surgeon is best to help determine this during your consultation. Best wishes! more

Implant profile detemined by chest wall measurements and the expectations of the patient.

Smaller framed women who want large breasts usually are best served by implants with higher profile (projection increases more relative to the diameter of the prosthesis).

High Profile Implants Useful In Small Framed Patients

Thank you for your question. Your surgeon is in fact correct. A high profile implant is more appropriate in small framed patients. The smaller base diameter makes it less likely that the implants will stick out into the armpit area. The volume is focused centrally where it can provide more augmentation. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Using a High Profile Breast Implant is a Good Option for Narrow Breasts

For patients that have a small breast width or narrow breasts, and would like a moderate to full post surgical breast shape, high profile breast implants are an excellent option. The volume of the implant remains consistent, but the diameter changes providing more or less projection. Think of filling a plastic bag with water, laying flat it does not have much projection, but if you push in the sides the bag will then force the fluid to the front providing a more round and less flat shape.... more
