High Profile Saline Implants for my Size?

Your diameter is probably in centimeters, not inches. I would be very concerned in a thin patient with relatively small breast tissue that you might encounter significant rippling with a saline implant of that large size.

Implants come in many different projections for the same base diameter. The benefit of a high profile implant is that more volume can be contained in the same base diameter. So to get a bigger end size you have to use a high projecting (High Profile) implant. The only issue with such a big implant in someone with so little breast tissue is that it may not look very natural.
