Are High Profile Implants Recommended for Patient with Wide Chest?

October 5, 2009
Asked By:ABitNervous in Santa Monica

My appointment is this week and I'm a bit nervous about the result. I have a wide chest and sternum. I'm a B cup with good breast tissue. The doctor recommended 375cc high profile when I told him I wanted a proportionate, natural look. Everything I've read on high profile implants says that they are best on narrow chests. Will I look fake and odd?
