I'm 5 foot 7, 170 lbs no kids, 34 c bra, I have a lot of tissue. I'm getting silicone unders. In my opinion I am wide but i also see myself as bigger than I am. I want more upper pole fullness and a semi "fake" looking breast. I was originally set on a mod profile thinking I'm wide. The look I'm wanting the doctor suggested a 650 cc HP implant. I am wondering if I'll get the upper fullness I want and not be too gapped and lose my side boob (Ill be going 500-600cc) will mod be too wide? help!!!
Answer: High profile implants are generally for women with narrow chest. I don't think I would advise you to have a high profile implant. To get better volume distribution on the chest a moderate or moderate plus profile would be a better choice.

Answer: Am I too wide for a high profile implant? Undecided between mod profile and HP Thank you for the question and picture. Based on your photograph, you are starting at a great place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. In regards to specific size/profile of breast implant, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" or "semi-fake" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. The use of temporary intraoperative sizers, viewing the patient's breasts in the upright and supine position, are very helpful during the breast implant selection process. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: What profile implant? If you are trying to diminish the gap, you must know how wide your natural breast footprint is and how much space exists between the mounds. Your implant must exceed your footprint to diminish the 'gap'. The larger HP implants are pretty wide and they may do this for you. Best to clarify with your surgeon, since your surgeon will be responsible for making you satisfied in the end.

Answer: Once you get to implants above 500cc then they should fit your frame High profile implants do have more narrow widths and will minimize cleavage to some extent at smaller sizes, but once you get to the sizes you are looking at, the width is usually wide enough to provide enough cleavage. I would listen to your doctor's recommendation since he has performed an exam and measurements.

Answer: Am I too wide for a high profile breast implant Thank you for your question. You need an examination and measurements of your breast base width to properly answer your question. Your plastic surgeon can use the base width to determine the size and style of breast implant that best fits your breast shape.Understand that breast implants larger than 500 cc to carry a higher risk of complications such as capsular contracture.
