High profil breast implants

There are reasons to use a high profile breast implant. If you have a narrow chest wall and/or narrow breast width, this may be a reasonable implant choice for you. Most patients seeking a more "natural" look will opt for the moderate or moderate plus profile breast implants, which are not as round as the high profile.
