Having implants replaced after 13 years due to rupture.

I dont wish to look unnatural or encourage more fullness at sides by going slightly bigger so wondering if mod plus profile might be better? thank you

Moderate plus breast implants

The moderate plus implants are intended to be very slightly fuller in the upper pole than moderate ones. Whether this will be the right choice for you would require an exam but it sounds potentially reasonable.

Moderate plus implants are a great size choice
