Moderate plus vs high profile Silicone gel implants?

The difference between the moderate plus and the high profile is how far the implant will project from your chest wall. The high profile has a more narrow width, but contains the same volume as a wider implant. Thus, instead of going wider, it goes higher. When this is in your breast, it means that your breast... more

This is really based on your breast/chest measurements. I usually use moderate plus profile, but have used high profile implants with very good success. It is really based on several discussions with the patient after measuring them. I typically will have 2-3 consultations before I perform the surgery. It is... more

Without examining you, nobody else can tell you what is best for you. I believe that your doctor should help you make the choice based on you breast base diameter measurement.

Hi! You have to start out by having confidence in your surgeon. He is supposed to be the expert.  Otherwise things won't go well. In NYC, we use either moderate plus profile or high profile breast implants, depending on the measurements of your chest.  During surgery, we use a disposable implant... more

I disagree with the other physicians.  A high profile silicone implant will look like a moderate plus profile saline implant and therefore is the best implant for volume enhancement.  The silicone filler cancels out the firm water balloon look that the high profile saline implant provides. 

High profile implants have a much smaller diameter than moderate profile implants for the same volume.  Therefore, they have much greater projection.  It is a pretty rare case when I use the high profile implants.  I usually use these in shorter women, eg 5 ft and less with slight frames, eg... more

Yes, they can make a difference.  Usually high profiles are used for patients who want alot of projection but have a vary narrow base diameter of their breast.  I will usually go with moderate plus or high profiles in the majority of patients.  I examine them carefully, and spend alot of time... more

 It all really depends on what you are hoping to achieve.  In most cases, the moderate profile plus give breast implants give a more natural result, while the high profile implants give more projections.  Your doctor should have some examples of the different implants in the office for you to... more

This is a difficult question to answer without an examination.  High profile implants tend to have a smaller width, and therefore the volume comes out more in front, providing more projection if you look at the breast from the side.  Moderate plus implants are a little wider, so there is less volume... more

    There is a difference in the width of the high profile or moderate plus implants so the same volume implant will be a little different in width. It is best to pick an implant that compliments your natural breast width. On average the mod + implants will give less projection and often times a... more
