What Size & Profile Implant Should I Choose for a Natural Look? (photo)
I'm 5'9", 140lb. with a medium C cup, & dense breast tissue. No fullness on top, but don't need a breast lift. My PS suggests high profile between 475 and 500cc because I am so tall. I want a bit more than natural to more "woo hoo, nice implants". Want full up top too.I wanted mid/moderate profile, but the only ones that fit my diameter are 397 in mid & they look pretty small to me. I also DO NOT want "cones" so I am nervous about high prof. Should I do 475 high or will they be cone boobs? Help!

Size & Profile Implant for a Natural Look
Your objectives indicate conflicting objectives. A more natural look can be achieved with a moderate profile. To provide more fullness in the upper pole may lead to less natural looking results with the use of high profile implants. To resolve these conflicting objectives, you may wish to either request another consultation with your surgeon and/or consult with 2 - 3 additional board certiifed plastic surgeons.

Conflicting desires in breast augmentation
What you have done is describe conflicting outcomes. "Natural" comes from moderate profile implants only. If "natural" means the best that nature could make. More fullness in the upper pole than that is not natural but can be achieved with mod plus and HP implants depending on your starting point.

In search of a natural look
What one patient considers too small another considers too big.The subjective aspects of breast augmentation are difficult to deal with. I utilized a computer simulation presently to illustrated the difference between the various implant volumes and sizes. While this is presently an imperfect solution I feels its helpful to the patient.

Best implant size and profile
The implants you suggest will give you a very projecting breast with smaller base diameter in the small to medium DD cup range. If that is what you are after, go for it. To test the look, as suggested previously, use an appropriate sizing implant inside your bra and top. Try lots of different combinations and see which YOU like the best.

Implant size
In my practice I have the patients try on implants in our bras and see what size and shape creates the look they are trying to achieve. . Once the general size is determined then we begin to discuss the profiles and base width, etc. This has worked well for me with essentially no size change procedures needed. In your breasts a high profile implant should be fine so don't be as concerned with the profile, rather the volume and look.

Choosing implants
Without an exam, it is hard to say what would be best for you, I put many HP implants in and I think they look very natural in the right patient.

Implant profile
My advice to you is to forget about profile and let the surgeon use the profile that will fit your breast the best. A high profile implant does not usually give "cone boobs". You have no reason the be nervous about high profile. In my practice I use a temporary sizer in the operating room to finalize what volume of implant it will take to give you the result you are wanting and then select the profile of that volume that fits your chest wall the best. I have...

Picking the right implant
This is a very common question on this forum. Each plastic surgeon has his or her own different approach.
In my own practice we keep silicone gel implants of all sizes available for patients to try on in a testing bra. This is not a perfect teaching tool because under the muscle implants tend to lose some projection, but because my patients look it actual implants on their frame I find it the most helpful.
I encourage my patients to bring a friend or friends for a...

Best Breast Implant Size?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what breast implant size or profile will best serve to achieve your goals. With my patients, I often do not know exactly what breast implant size/profile will work best until I'm in the operating room and have used sizers ( with the patient asleep and sitting upright). I then compare the patient's appearance on the operating table to the patient's goal pictures which are hanging on the...
