Will high profile implants give "natural-looking" breasts?

What one person might describe as a natural-looking breast augmentation might be described by another as very artificial-looking. My breast implant rep jokes that I am the biggest user of the smallest implants. In my opinion, high profile implants generally look 'done" and 500 plus cc's, particularly on a... more

I don't want to disappoint you but I would argue that at your relatively small frame you will not look natural with a 500 cc implant.  My decision of implant profile is simple.  The appropriate implant diameter for your body/ chest is chosen and the profile depends on the desired implant volume... more

To masterfenrir, You probably don't want to hear this,but with the anatomy that you describe, there is no way that you are going to look natural with 500 cc implants.  High profile implants have a narrower base, and this is why your surgeon wants to use them, because they are the only 500 cc implants that... more

Having trained in Chicago and practiced in Toronto and now Southern California, I've realized people's views on what looks natural vary geographically. The average implant size patients want increases as you move to the south or southwest. Sit down with your surgeon and try different sizers in a flexible 34D... more

Implants have different profiles only partially because of how they look. The volume of your implant is based on your chest diameter and skin tone, thickness and obviously your own desire. So if you desire a larger volume than your chest diameter can tolerate, then a high profile implant is beneficial. You... more

Hello, I rarely use high profile breast implants. They "stick out" too far and make many women look like strippers. If this is not what you want, be careful.

I usually reserve high profile implants for patients with at least moderate skin laxity and those who want more projection. Of course, a determining factor also would be the base width or diameter  of the breasts. Starting at a 34c and at 5'4, 125 lbs, one should ask - would it look natural to have a... more

Saline and silicone implants have differing profiles even amongst product lines.  For example, with a base width like you have of 13, the projection of a high profile silicone implant is about 5.3 cm, but with a high profile saline implant overfilled to create a base width of 13, the fill would be aroudn... more

There are a number of factors that sometimes are mutually exclusive when choosing the right profile. The first thing to consider is what the base diamter of the breast is, because the implant has to fit inside without being squeezed in. The second decision is volume, in other words how large do you want the... more

Dear Master, You may not require 500cc to get to a double D size with your frame if you are starting from a full C cup natural breast.  The moderate profile 400cc implant with a 13cm base diameter should be enough to get you "large, nice looking breasts" without the upper fill of a high profile... more
