Will high profile breast implants result in cone shaped breasts?

I have 1 week till surgery. Can high profile Breast implants make your breast cone shaped?

I'm 140 lbs and 5ft 5in with a chest about 35in around. My choice is between the smooth round 200cc filled to 240cc or the high profile implant 250cc filled to 300cc both saline and above the muscle.

I would like to be a full C, I was a B till I had my son, now im a around a AA or A. My question is: I know the high profile sticks out, but I was told they can make your breast "pointy" like cones. What do you think I should do?

With very small breasts, high profile implants will give you great projection and your concerns with a conical shape may be valid.  Therefore, you may want to strongly consider moderate profile implants.  I would recommend borrowing some samples of implants, both moderate and high profile, from your... more

A: Relax, implants don't make your breasts pointy.

William B. Rosenblatt, MD

If you want pointy breasts - get a bra from the 1950s. High profile may give you a little more projection - but should not make them pointy.

A: The appearance of high profile implants

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

High profile saline implants are primarily used to accomodate larger implants in patients with small base diameter breasts as well as to diminish the wrinkling that occurs with lower projection implants of similar volume. The appearance is a complex interplay of the shape of the implant, the amount of your... more
