Ive seen many surgeons recently and they all say use high profile, however the pics ive looked at all look like they have alot of fullness at the top part of the breast. I really dont want that fullness up there, I would prefer a straight line, or even more of a slope than that, and much more fullness at the bottom. What would be best for me,high, moderate? It seems that none of the docs would listen to me or explain it very well. I am 5'1 & 100lbs. Ive included a pic. Thanks for all answers.

There is a difference between high profile silicone and saline implants: even if they are the same side.

In my experience, there is a tremendous difference between high profile saline versus silicone. High profile silicones can look very natural whereas the saline implants tend to have the undesireable appearance you describe. Be sure you are discriminating between the photos of the silicones versus the salines.

Profile of an implant determones its "look" in the upper pole

The moderate profile implant made by Mentor is made to give you the "look" you are describing. The only problem with it is that it might leave you feeling smaller than you want since you look like you have a narrow base width behind the breast and this determines just how wide an implant your body can handle. Actually, the HP gel from Mentor is similar to the mod plus saline and it doesn't look as outrageous as you might think. In fact, I think the HP... more

High profile breast implants

Thanks for the photo. I primarily use HP implants but if you want Only a moderate projection than I would consider moderate profile plus. Remember the diameter is slightly wider on the non high profiles. From MIAMI Dr. B
