Profile of implant
Hello,
You can easily determine which size and profile of implant fits you best by trying on some implants int the plastic surgeons office. Just bring in a very tight T-shirt or sports bra and try on various implant sizes and profiles.
All the best,

Breast implant profile
Choosing the best breast implant for breast augmentation requires an in person consultation to evaluate the patient's physical characteristics such as skin laxity and width of natural breast. In general, moderate profile breast implants are better suited for wider breasts, whereas higher profile implants are preferable for narrow breasts with more tissue compliance.

Implant style
Based on your height, weight, and body habitus, the moderate profile implants would look the most natural. I would use a higher profile implant if you are narrow, and the moderate profile implants in your size range are too wide. It sounds like you are on the right track with what you have chosen.

Best Profile Implants for Flat-Chested Transgender MTF
I choice is High Profile for more projection not more width. Seek more in person opinions. Also an expander implant might be a goood choice for you to achieve that 400 cc soft size.

Profile of Implants
Moderate profile usually give the most natural results, but the choice has to be individualized to each patient. This determination is made using your anatomy, chest measurements and skin quality. Good luck with your surgery.
