Would It Be Possible for Me to Have Low Profile Implants? (photo)
I'm interested in getting a very natural look and from what i've seen the lower profile implants look far more natural. i prefer a flatter look with less projection but have quite narrow breasts to start with. They are also wide set so i was hoping lower profile implants would close the gap up and allow me to get some cleavage. Is this possible?

Projection determined by lift more than implant profile
Your photograph shows marked asymmetry with excess medial separation of your breasts. You will need 2 things done. First, you will need different size implants with the left side larger than the right side. Second, you will need the breasts lifted and displaced medially. There is a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision your breast is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on...

?Tubular breast, choice of implant
First of all, this is a more complex decision than for the average breast augmentation patient. Based on this single photo, I suspect your breast shape might well fit the diagnosis of tubular breast. There are a number of features that define a tubular breast:
•Wide and puffy areolae
•widely spaced breasts
•high breast fold
•constricted lower pole (deficient tissue in lower half of the breast)
•minimal breast tissue
•high breast fold
•narrow base of the...

Would It Be Possible for Me to Have Low Profile #Implants? (photo) ANS:
Yes you can have lower profile implants and from your photo that may work well for you. You seem to have a bit of a tubular presentation and I would worry that an implant that is over projected will make this even worse! But that will be a discussion with your surgeon but you do have a bit of a challenge with the tubular like presentation...

Low profile implants and controlled, natural results
There are many definitions and understandings of the term "natural". To me it looks like a breast that doesn't have an implant behind it. The other issue is controlling the result and doing what is feasible/reasonable rather than based on wishful thinking or picking a size of implant and working backwards.
The simple answer is that you can have a low profile implant if you choose an Allergan saline-filled implant but the lowest profile implant in gel-filled implants is not called...

Implant choices
WIthout an exam it is very difficult to suggest what would be best for you. Yes, low profile implants are wider and may be suitable, but it seems that you have a tuberous component as well.

Getting breast implants and still appearing natural
There are many options to have breast augmentation and still have natural appearing breasts. This can be achieved with implants that have a moderate projection or even with the use of your own fatty tissue. The most important thing is to clearly communicate your desires to an experienced plastic surgeon. Make sure you look through some before and after photos to ensure that this surgeon can or has achieved similar result to what you desire.

Choice of Implants with Tuberous/ Constricted Breast
Breast augmentation is a very useful way to improve the appearance of tuberous breast shapes, but requires careful planning. An implant that is either too wide, or too narrow may not achieve the results you are looking for. Additionally, a breast lift may be recommended to correct a signficant asymmetry in nipple height. I recommend that you see a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon for a full consultation and they will be best able to guide you through the process and get the best possible results.

Are low profile implants right for me?
You do have tuberous breasts which can be improved with careful augmentation and possibly a peri-areolar lift type procedure. Your breasts are asymmetric as well which will require2 different sized implants. The profile of the implant to be used depends upon your measurements and your goals of cup or bra size. There are many variables to consider which should be discussed in your consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps

Low profile breast implants
You have both breast asymmetry and a degree of tuberous breast deformity with a narrow base width. The success of a procedure for you would depend on your goals and should be discussed in a detailed consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Augmentation alone will help improve your appearance, but your anatomy is a bit complicated and the size implants, style and breast base issues need to be planned carefully due to your anatomy.
