I am an extremely small chested athletic type person getting a breast augmentation. I was told by my plastic surgeon that high profile would be the best. I'm not sure I like the looks of them on patients the same size as me. What is the difference between round moderate plus and high profile implants?
Answer: Ground moderate vs. high profile. When I start the implant sizing process with my patients we think about the width of the breast first. If an implant is too narrow on the chest it will look like a torpedo. If an implant is too wide you will make a patient look top heavy. For my patients I strive to achieve a sense of balance. The degree of curve under the arm is used to find a sense of balance with the curve of the hip.Once we find the right diameter, the diameter that fills the chest wall nicely, the diameter that balances with balances with a curve of the hip then we turned towards the projection.I can give a patient Low, moderate or high profile implant all with the same diameter. In general, most of my patients are looking for more than a low profile. I personally don't care for the shape of the low profile implants.In general I find a moderate or moderate plus implant tends to give a nice contour. If a patient really wants a larger cup size that's when I turn to a high profile .My suggestion to you would be to think hips and curve first. Then decide how much projection you want. A small chested and athletic person will look more natural in a moderate profile implant than in a high profile implant. A silicone implant will tend to look more natural than a saline.I have included a link below that I share shared with my patients on my website. I hope that it is helpful to you.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast implant sizing Breast implant sizing is an important part of the consultation and your surgeon should help guide your implant selection to match your goals. HP implants will likely give you significant upper pole fullness. If you were to compare a similar volume HP implant with a moderate profile, the moderate profile would be wider, with less projection. Based on your chest width, this could give you more "side boob" and less upper pole fullness. I prefer to have my patients "try on" different sizes to see what volume they're looking to achieve and then based on their anatomy and general goals select an implant.

Answer: Round Moderate Vs High Profile Implants It's a very good question. Implant profile refers to how far forward the implant projects on your chest. Implants that have a higher profile create a more "augmented" look. I typically use moderate profile implants to give a more natural appearance. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide of breast augmentation is right for you.

Answer: Implant Profiles My advice to my patients is to always first go for the volume that you are interested in achieving. Once you have decided on the actual size, then the focus can be turned to implant profiles. Focusing on the profile first will usually limit the volume and hence not achieving the desired size.The difference between a moderate plus and a high profile implant is not very much, but the difference between a moderate plus and an ultra high is big. A high profile implant will be a bit narrower than the same cc moderate plus, and will therefore provide a slightly fuller upper pole to the breast.It is important to have breast measurements performed in the office and to get sized prior to your procedure.Hope that helps.

Answer: How To Choose Between Moderate Vs High Profile Implants, Confidently Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you? A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”. So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural. Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small. And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!" That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours, one that will let you see how you'll end up looking like before you actually have the procedure. This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it. I hope that answers your question on how to pick the right implant. Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Answer: Implants profile Usually after examination and taking measurements you surgeon will advice for the best implant for you. To make it easy to understand you can have the same size of implant ( same volume) in different shapes. Lower profiles will be wider and less projected( will stick out in front of your chest less), higher profiles will be narrower and more projected.The right choice will depend on the look that you want achieve and the size of your chest and breast.
