A moderate profile implant will fit most
Implant profile has become a topic of considerable discussion and you will find many opinions on the 'best' implant profile. Ours is that the moderate profile implant will fit most individuals and provide all the volume and projection needed for a natural breast augmentation. You can easily achieve a D-cup without the trade-off of the high profile implant.
Best of luck,

1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to te...

Moderate profile implants
I am not a big fan of the moderate profile implants. The majority of my patients have either moderate plus or high profile implants placed. I find the moderate implants a bit too wide and they do not have alot of projection.

VIDEO FOR BREAST SIZING: Breast implant augmentation surgery and moderate profile
I generally don't like mnoderate because it has a higher chance of rippling but I do use this in patients with a wide base diameter.
It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look...

Moderate Profile Implants = Natural Look
Most women achieve the most natural look with Moderate Profile implants. A 350cc MP implant will likely put you at a D cup but I highly recommend meeting with a surgeon to discuss sizes. Most petite women who are looking to go up to a D cup generally require HIGH Profile implants because the diameter of the chest and rib cage tend to be narrow. The larger the size, the wider the implant. If the edges of the implant peaks out onto the side of the chest, you may need to opt for a High...

Use Moderate Profile
As Drs. Rand & Wallach stated, I also use mostly HP implants. Especially for that increase to a D cup. Be careful out there. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski

Implant profile choice depends on many factors.
In addition to your present height, weight, and breast cup size, I examine and measure additional items before deciding, with my patient, what can be done to give her the results she wishes. I include breast base diameter, the amount of breast skin excess or laxity, nipple/areola position with relation to the infra-mammary crease (IMC), IMC-nipple distance, mid-clavicular to nipple distance, present breast volume, present breast volume asymmetry, desired final breast volume, desired...

Breast Implant Size
I agree that this is a very common question on RealSelf.com. However, choosing the breast implant size depends on the patients anatomy, tissue quality and expectations from surgery. This can only be determined during a consultation in the office. Once seen by the surgeon, they will be able to give you a range of options.
Good luck.

Moderate profile breast implants
MP implants are meant to make the most natural look, definitely not a D cup in you. A HP implant is what you need to get the look you describe.
