High Profile or Moderate Plus Silicone?

I am 5'8, 142 lbs, 24 years old. My base diameter is 13. Internipple distance is 20.5. I would like to be a full C or small D and am looking at the 400-450CC range.I do not want a lot of space between my breasts.I want to have projection and cleavage.I was told by one doctor that the high profile would not be a good choice because they are too narrow for my frame. But other doctors have said that it's not an issue and it is my choice. Should I get high profile or moderate plus silicone implants?

Profile of implant depends on the width of your breast, along with other things

If you're going "by the numbers", the profile of your breast implant is mainly determined by the width of your breast, and how close you want your breast implants to be.  Rib cage measurements, along with other measurements, may help. If the diameter of your breast implant is too narrow, it will fit into the width of your breast, but there will be too much space between your breasts over the sternum.  if the diameter is too wide, the breast implants may be too... more

Breast Implant Profile?

Thank you for the question. In planning your breast augmentation procedure it will be very important to communicate your overall goals with your surgeon. Once you have communicate your goals with your surgeon then leave the exact size and profile the size/profile up to him/her to decide.

HP or M+?

I find that Moderate Plus style implants are too wide and look too matronly in the larger sizes that you desire. I would think that the High Profile design should satisfy your goals. Without knowing your current size, it's hard to say what your size outcome would be.

Choosing breast implants

I personally use Mentor in most all cases but the style 45 Allergans are super HP for an extremely full look.  The Mentor HP gel is comparable to their Mod plus saline.  As long as you want the implants close to eachother, all the doctor has to do is use a maximal width for you and the profile choice will determine how much projection and depth of cleavage you get.  At 13 cm all kinds of implants are available for you.

High profile or moderate plus

There are other factors that need to be considered besides the base diameter when considering the size and projection of the implant.Most importantly the thickness of the tissues will affect the base diameter. This should be assesed before surgery,and the surgeon should have the option to verify and change the implant if necessary at surgery.This is done by inserting sizer implantsand comparing the options
