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?

Answer: Explain what "natural" means to you Please talk to your surgeon and explain what you define as "natural". High profile implants can achieve a natural looking result, however it may not do that for your body type if you have a wider chest.

Answer: Match the base diameters High profile implants can be used on a wide variety of chest diameters. The implant base diameter should match the breast diameter. The surgeon should measure the chest and help you choose an implant. You should be picking the volume by trying on sizers. Then together you and the surgeon can pick the right implant.

Answer: Implants Come In All Shapes & Sizes It’s important to understand that implants come in all shapes and sizes. Implants have unique characteristics, which allow them to be used for specific indications. The majority of patients will need moderate profile implants. These implants tend to create breasts that appear to look more natural. This type of implant has a wider base dimension. It creates a breast with less superior fullness and less anterior projection. In contrast, high profile implants have a narrow base dimension. These implants create a more artificial appearance with more upper breast fullness and anterior breast projection. In patients with increased transverse chest dimensions, an implant with a broader base will be necessary to create a natural appearance. In this case, a high profile implant would be exactly what you don’t need. This would result in two breasts that have significant projection, that are widely spaced giving a distinctly abnormal appearance.
