I got 175 g/cc submuscular implants and later realized my surgeon used what looks to be the high profiles at that size implant (Natrelle diameter 9.1 cm, projection 3.8 cm). I had discussed a very natural look with more base than projection and now I'm worried I won't achieve this. I'm a small A originally and my breast tissue was on the narrow side. I'm having a hard time picturing final results because of swelling and I am quite confused and worried. Any input on possible final results?
Answer: 175 cc Implants High vs Moderate Profile
The difference in breast implant diameter width between a high profile and a moderate profile at 175 cc is very small. Few people could tell a difference at this volume.

Answer: High profile panic
Give it about 3 months for swelling to settle down, and for the tissues to relax before really judging the final results. In contrast to some of the other posts, I think the high profile implants can really look very nice, if chosen based on the patient's anatomic dimensions. Of course, it's a matter of the patient's personal taste, but in our practice, these are the second most-popular implants, after the "mod. plus" profile. So, give it some time.

Answer: 175cc high profile implants
Thank you for your question. It is a bit early to judge your results, and given some more time, you will be better able to judge if you have achieved your wishes. That being said, I typically do not use high profile implants in women who desire a very natural look. Due to their narrow width, they tend to create a round, conical breast which looks more implanted.
For women who wish to be more subtle, a moderate profile implant works well. The width of the implant can be matched to your chest width, which gives the most natural result. I would suggest waiting an re-assessing how your breasts look in 3 months time. If you are at all dissatisfied, the implants can be exchanged without much ado.
Best of luck with your breasts.

Answer: Concerned about Breast Implants used for Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
Although some of your anxiety is understandable, I would suggest that you not worry at this point. It is very likely that your surgeon chose your breast implant based on dimensional planning/measurements.
Regardless, worry/anxiety at this point is not helpful. I would suggest continued patience and follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Hopefully, you'll be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure regardless of the specific breast implant “profile” used.

Answer: 175 cc implants
First, 175 cc implants are very small. An exam in person would be best to determine how they look and review your concerns. In addition, if you just had surgery, you are probably still swollen.
