What is the difference between moderate profile, moderate plus profile and high profile?

Low, moderate and high projection implants.Low profile is wider, flatterHigh is narrow, taller(higher)Moderate is in-betweenIn general, the higher the profile, the more projection, the more cup size you will get. The three manufacturers have different terminology and different ratios of width/profile.Best to speak with a BCPS and determine, based on your measurements, what's best for your anatomy and your desires.Best.

Thank you for your question.  Basically the profile of the implant is the difference of the projection of the implant and width. Moderate profile implants have a low projection and wider diameter.  Moderate Plus implant medium projection more narrow diameter.  Like you've probably guessed, High Profile have a high projection and even more narrow diameter.  There is even an Ultra High Profile with the most narrow diameter and highest projection per CCs. The point of the different projections is to allow women to get more volume for the body size.  A woman with a narrow chest diameter can get a high profile implant to give her more volume and projection than she would be able to get with a moderate profile implant.  This is also personal preference in the type of look you are going for.  This is something you will want to discuss with your surgeon to decide which option is best for you and your body type.  Best of luck to you!

Dear Ms. Piggy21,Thank you for your questions and story. Unfortunately with out photos, a exam of your tissues and measurements I can can only comment based your photos. However I hope you find the following information helpful.There are four different profiles (implant base width)A) for the same volume the higher the profile the narrower the base width.B)there is very little difference in projection between a moderate to high profile implantthus little affect on the perceptible final projection of your breasts.C) the base width of the breast should equal the base width of the implant D)thus I personally chose the profile based on the patients chest measurements, (a high profile on a wide chest may not result in the cleavage desired and conversely a low profile on a narrow chest may result in implant in the outside armarea.I suggest you make out a list of your questions and select several nude "model" photos of what your desired goals/look would bring them with to your scheduled consultative appointments.Please research that your Plastic Surgeon is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a I member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, R.
