Look first, implant size later

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Is there a risk of high-profile Saline Breast Implants pushing out over time?

I am an A cup (12.5 width) and I wanted to go with about a 425cc saline implant. I know that in order to do this I would most likely have to get high-profile saline implants to achieve this size. However, I have heard that the chest muscles push these implants out and away from the center over time. What is the risk of this happening? Would it be better to go with a tear drop-shaped implant instead, or is the high-profile saline still the best choice?

It is very important to decide on the look you are going for. In my opinion, high profile implants do not look very natural. They are very projecting and in my opinion are a bit "torpedo-ish".

So, think if you are looking for a very natural look or a more implanted look. Once you have decided on this then you can decide on the volume and profile. I would not go the opposite route of trying to get the volume into you so that you have to do high profile. Any implant in the body will take its toll over time. Obviously the larger the implant, the more stretching it will do over time. You just have to be aware of that. Good luck. Hope that helps.
