Can I Achieve a Natural Looking Result with High Profile Implants?
I had a consultation with a PS yesterday and asked him for a conservative and natural look. I am 5'5, 110lb and ribcage 28" with broad shoulders. He recommended 280cc HP silicone implants placed under the muscle. I am scared to death of HP implants as majority of people say it looks fake. The bottom of my ribs do stick out so I know I do need some projection.. Do you think I can achieve a natural look with HP? (please see photo!)

What IS a "natural" breast augmentation
Having done this for 25 years, I find that the word "natural" is so misused by patients that I don't think they really even know what they mean when they are using it. Is it the true technical definition of the word ie "natural means what could occur in nature" or is it just saying "I don't want to look like Pamela Anderson"?? Patients use the natural word for both purposes.
My advice is to not use the word "natural" but be very specific about...

Natural look
HP implants do not necessarily look fake. It is really the size of the implants and the underlying breast tissue volume that you have that will determine that. I prefer HP implants for patients with narrow frames.

Natural look with high profile breast implants
Natural can be difficult to explain to others and one persons 'natural' may be artificial to another. In our practice we use photos, sizing implants, and other methods to help determine breast size and projection. You should focus on the look that you would like, and bring your goals to your surgeon. The surgeon should be willing to use an implant which will help you reach your goal, the result which you feel will be natural for you. Twenty years ago all breast implants were low profile...

Please let your doctor use his judgment to give you the best result
There are many options for the augmentation including the incision site,implant size and shape,and the implant position. Your doctor can help you with this based on the body structure ,breast size, tissue quality , patient desire and his experience. If you want natural look I would agree with the size but i would recommend moderate plus implants submuscular based on the limited evaluation( your picture).

Implant profile depends on desired size and patient's anatomy
High-profile implants are designed to maximize volume on a narrow base diameter. In other words, pick the size of the implant you want in consultation with your plastic surgeon, then he or she will determine which profile best fits the base foundation of your breasts. In your case, although I can't make any specific recommendation, it appears that your chest is narrow and the base diameter is small, so even though 280 cc is on the small side it might be a very good choice for you.

How to pick shape of breast implants.
How to pick breast implant sizes and shapes:
Answer by George J. Beraka, MDManhattan Plastic Surgeon1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is...

High profile implants and natural look
The real question is what do you consider natural. As I explain to my patients, what you have is a natural look, you just don't like it. Anytime you place an implant, it is by definition unnatural. What most patients really mean is how to make their breasts not look unnatural. Once you describe what you desire then a surgeon should choose the procedure that most closely produces that result. it is not that a high profile implant intrinsically produces an unnatural result or a low...

High profile and natural look
A natural look is a metter of opinion of course but your plastic surgeon needs to stay within the boudries of your breast base width and if you want a little more volume, that is the only way to go. Ask your plastic surgeon to allow you to size with the exact size/style/type of implant in a sports bra. This is really the best way to do it other than using one of the new 3D imaging systems but nothing is perfect.
I hope this helps.

High profile breast implants
High profile implants can give a natural look, and the size you have mentioned is very reasonable. Keep in mind that if you place the implants in a bra, they do not look the same as when they are placed in your tissues. Silicone implants under the muscle is absolutely the way to go with your body frame. Good luck and best wishes, /nsn

High profile silicone or saline breast implants.
A high profile silicone implant tends to have the dimensions of a moderate plus profile saline implant. Therefore it really depends on the choice of silicone or saline. I generally avoid high profile saline but tend to favor high profile silicone.

Pleasing Results with High Profile Gel Breast Implants
High Profile gel implants look and feel much more natural and attractive than the HP saline implants. In a thin athletic woman such as yourself I agree that they would be a good choice. I like the way they look and feel and use them frequently in my practice.
