Breast Implant profile choices

Christine Hamori, MD answers: How to choose Breast Implant profile?

Hi. I am getting a Breast Augmentation and I'm having the hardest time choosing Moderate Plus or Moderate.

I am doing it under the muscle, and my areolas are a little far apart I want breasts that are perky, yet look natural and give me cleavage.

What should I choose? And is going through the areola a good choice?

I tell patients to think of a breast  as an empty pillow case and the implants as different size and shaped pillows. For instance, if they wear a 30 or 32 bra then high profile implants which have a narrower base diameter might fill the "pillow case" of that patient better. Measurements are made during the exam to size the different diameter implants to best match the patient's anatomy.
