Choosing between medium plus and high profile breast implants

In my practice, I limit my breast implant choices to medium plus and high profile implants in most cases.  This provides excellent projection of the breasts and limits lateral fullness of the chest wall.

In your particular case, both medium plus and high profile implants would be suitable.  The dimensions of the breast that you desire in terms of breast height vs. width dimensions is a matter of personal taste and must be addressed with your surgeon.  Your base diameter is an important determinant, as well as your breast proportions.  These should be measured and recorded by your surgeon.

While implants are the same, patients are different. There are a multitude of factors that might determine how an particular implant will "look" in your breasts. Most plastic surgeons use a dimensional approach to choosing implants, looking at the width and projection. The cc's is a by-product of this analysis so we do not go so much by the absolute number of cc's. You also have to remember that side effects and complications are considered in choosing an appropriate implant for your situation. A surgeon must be able to exam you in person to determine what implant will achieve what you are looking for.
