Ultra High Profile Breast Implants for Tall Women?

Tags: breasts, female, 5 ft 8 in to 6 ft 0 in, under muscle, 450-499cc, high profile, natural

I went for my sizing yesterday and explained I did not want to go big and fake. I was told I have good breast tissue and with my height of 5'9" and uneven breast should go with 455cc on left and 480cc on right, ultra high profile.

I am concerned this is going to be huge and fake, will be going under muscle. They looked good under the bra and with a top, but is this going to be the same once inserted?

Ultra high profile breast implants will not give a natural look

In the US, I think of ultra high profile implants as the Allergan Style 45 gels, which are quite round in appearance. I would expect you to size with either a moderate proflie or high profile implant, depending on the size you desire. In your sizing appointment, if you placed the implants in a sports bra and viewed yourself in the mirror, this is a pretty good representation as to what you might expect from surgery. Make sure you have a good understanding of the size, style, and type of... more

High profile breast implants in a tall patient

I'm not sure what "ultra high profile" is but high profile implants in general tend to have a rounder/fuller look than moderate profile implants. The final implant size depends alot on the cup size you would like to ultimately become. Looking at your photo, it appears that you are around a B cup, and that adding the implants that you selected, subpectoral, you'll likely end up at a D cup. The question of whether or not this will look too large or fake is something you should... more

Breast augmentation in tall women: Avoid Ultra high profile!

My opinion is very contrary. Tall women generally need wider based implants for better height, superior pole fullness and to accomodate their wide chest wall. I would select low profile implants placed in a carefully designed subfascial plane in order to create projection exactly where it is needed and a tapered natural tear-drop shape. Placing high profile implants is likely to gave you an unnatural artificial appearance with breasts that are too narrow and do not blend... more

What size to choose?

Clear communication with your plastic surgeon is important in achieving the desired goals of the patient. I like to communicate with patients with “goal” pictures. During surgery, I use temporary sizers to determine the size/profile that will give the patient the look she is looking for. Trying to predict the size of the implant preoperatively is not ideal. I think it is too much responsibility for the patient to choose the size of the implant. Ideally,... more

Ultra high profile

Sounds like " Super test"! But in the US we only have high profile so I can only imagine they have more projection and are narrower. I do use alot of HP's and they usually look quite good. I could';t say without an exam and knowing more about those implants.

Ultra HP implants will look very fake

The intent of extremely HP implants is to create a very full unnatural look. Allergan Style 45's are this kind of an implant. Mentor gel HP's are not as unnatural as these Allergans so one HP is not the same as another. From your starting piont, you could do fine with moderate or moderate plus implants.

You need moderate profile implants!

I have never heard of "ultra high profile" implants but high profile implants in most cases are problematic and can give a weird or unnatural look, especially in a tall patient. Looking at your photo you are almost certainly appropriate for a moderate profile. Ultra high profile would have exaggerated forward projection relative to the base width which would look really unnatural. I think the volumes you liked are fine, just go with a moderate profile. I... more
