High Profile Vs Moderate Plus Profile Breast Implants?

I have Saline 400 cc mentor 1600's now going to get Silicone either high or mod plus mentor) July 2nd. I am wondering if the high implants will give me any cleavage. Weight 127 lbs Ht. 5'6". I worry about the implant going over into my armpit area if the diameter is too large. However, I don't want pointy boobs (which some day the high profile can give).

I am wanting to go for a 550 or 600 cc. Please give me opinions that can help me choose. I want to have full boobs, like Kendra (the girls next door).

You need to discuss all of this with your plastic surgeon.
