I'm kinda confused..is moderate plus more for women w/narrower breast width? If I measure 14cm and get a moderate plus I would need ALOT of cc's to match my width? It is important to fill in your width right?

Moderate Plus Implant Indications

When choosing an implant type, I consider three factors: 1. Base Diameter (chest wall width) 2. Skin pinch or amount of native breast skin 3. Patient goals and desires I always begin my consultation by getting a clear understanding of my patients goals and expected end result. Then we perform a detailed exam where I measure the chest wall width, amount of skin pinch, and estimate the skin envelope. Based on these three... more

Moderate plus profile breast implants by Mentor.

Moderate plus implants are one of my favorite styles. It combines the higher profile that diminishes the tendency for rippling but does\ not have the narrow base diameter of the high profile implant.

Moderate plus implants are used for many women

I agree with doctor Gill regarding implant selection. There are three factors I always consider: base diameter (breast width) , breast skin laxity, and the amount of breast tissue. If you select an implant by only considering the base width, then you would need a larger implant volume to obtain the same base width with a moderate plus implant when compared to a moderate profile implant. As implants increase in size, the base width increases. When you compare implants of... more

Moderate Plus breast implants

Mentor's Moderate Plus saline-filled breast implant is a good choice for women who want more than 1 1/2 cup size increase but less than a two cup size increase (Allergan's high profile saline, not Mentor's). The volume will be more than a medium profile implant and less than a high profile implant. The width of the implant must be matched to the width of the upright breast if it is to fit and look natural. To use an implant that is too wide for the width of the breast or two... more

Implant choices

Moderate plus implants are designed for woman usually of a medium build. I reserve high profiles for thin narrow women that want a larger breast but do not want too much "side boob." If they wnat more "side boob" I may choose a mod + for them to match the volume.

Breast implants do not have to fill the whole width of your breast.

Hi. 1) We use only moderate plus implants and high profile implants because they do not show rippling. 2) Make sure your plastic surgeon really understands the exact look you want. 3) Then let your surgeon select the implants that will give you that look. This is part of what you are paying for. This should not be your worry. 4) We use sterile disposable implant SIZERS during surgery to eliminate guess work.

Moderate PLUS Breast Implants

Matching the right implant to each woman is a combination of science but more of art. The most important factor in selecting an implant is assuring that it is covered by the existing breast tissue and that it is placed under the center of the breast. After the introduction of the earlier Low Profile implants, came the High Profile implants. But these implants satisfied a narrow segment of the market by providing either wide rather flat implants (LP) or extremely prominent, out there... more

Choosing the right breast implant

There are three common profiles to breast implants: 1. Moderate Profile-flattest and widest 2. Moderate Plus Profile 3. High Profile-most narrow and projected The implant does not need to be an "exact fit" to your breast width (BW). In fact, it is most important that they don't exceed your breast width. Thus, breast width determines the maximum size implant that can be used depending on profile. For many patients, moderate plus profile... more

You are very astute! I would use high profiles on you. But that is just me and 30+ years of implanting. Discuss with the PS of choice. From MIAMI Dr. B
