I went to a consultation for Breast Augmentation. I am currently less than an A cup. I am 5'6 and weigh 110 lbs. My surgeon said she wanted to give me a 320cc high profile silicone implant for a natural small C cup look. I was wondering you opinion on how "natural" versus fake this would look, since I noticed this sight said only about 5% of patients get high profile implants because of how unnatural they look.
Answer: Differences in profiles for breast implants If you are seeking a natural look, high profile implants are not recommended. Usually, in order to achieve a natural look, moderate profile or possible moderate plus profiles are used. High profile implants are used for patients who have concaved or narrowed chests to give them more projection.

Answer: VIDEO (click here for link) How Would 320cc High Profile Implants Look on Breasts Smaller Than Cup A?
There is no simple formula for selecting breast implant sise. There are several factors that enter into the decision making process inlcluding your desires. If you seek a D cup the only implant that may accomplish this is by using a high profile implant.

Answer: High profil breast implants There are reasons to use a high profile breast implant. If you have a narrow chest wall and/or narrow breast width, this may be a reasonable implant choice for you. Most patients seeking a more "natural" look will opt for the moderate or moderate plus profile breast implants, which are not as round as the high profile. However these implants may be too wide for your frame and breast width. Sometimes a high profile is indicated if a patient wants a larger size but has a small or narrow body type. You may discuss with your surgeon using a slightly smaller implant, perhaps 280cc, to minimize the chances of appearing too "fake". Best wishes, Dr. Bruno

Answer: Sizing Before Your Surgery
I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:
1.Dimensional planning
2.Gel Implant Sizing system
Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.
Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look.
Lastly, please make sure your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The proper credentials and certification matters.
Hope this helps.

Answer: Implant look
WIthout an exam, it is hard to say what would look right for you. But, I have to say, I use high profiles quite often, and may patients are very happy and look great and natural.
