For the ones that are boxy, is it because the IMF wasn't lowered? That is, the nipples appear too low making the implants appear even wider? On others, moderate profile implants look fantastic! So how to avoid the former situation?
Answer: Moderate profile implants The augmented breast is the sum of the size and shape of the implant plus the size and shape of the existing breast. If a woman has an attractive breast shape, then any implant that does not overcome that shape will look fine.

Answer: Appearance after Breast Augmentation One of the most common but erroneous concept is that a given breast implant size or shape has an affect on how that patient's breasts will look. Wrong. This is why I never mention what size implants I use in before and after photos, it only correlates to the patient, and no one else. Stop thinking that a given size or shaped implant will make your breasts look like someone else's.

Answer: Why do some moderate profile implants appear really boxy, wide, & matronly but others not? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Poor results often result from an improper matching of patient anatomy to the dimensions of an implant. I would be sure to seek out a series of consultations to ensure that you and your surgeon are on the same page regarding your expected outcome. Hope this helps.

Answer: Why Do Some Moderate Profile Implants Appear Really Boxy, Wide & Matronly But Others Not? The short answer to your question is that moderate profile implants very often give inadequate projection for a given base width. This often makes the breast look wider and less tear drop shaped. That is why, in my practice, I very rarely use moderate profile implants. High or full projection implants normally give the breast like appearance most patients desire. Patients who request moderate implants are very often afraid of having phony looking breasts, but unfortunately moderate wide implants with minimal breast tissue often leads to a boxy appearance.All the above mumbo jumbo means that choosing the right Board Certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate all parameters is infinitely more important than choosing what style implant. The right plastic surgeon with good before and after pictures, good reviews, and a great track record beats choosing the style of implant every time.

Answer: Why do some moderate profile implants appear really boxy, wide, & matronly but others not? Achieving round, tight breasts that are not boxy depends upon unique tailoring and not cookie cutter patterns. In almost all women, round implants will produce a better result as the mass of most breast tissue is located in the inferior aspect of the breast. Thus, round implants give more upper pole fullness, which is usually lacking due to involution or lack of development. Teardrop or anatomic implants were developed for women after mastectomy to reapproximate the shape of breast if starting with nothing. Thus, if used in most women, the result is a more matronly look with less upper pole fullness.Very few ultra high profile implants are used as they may have a higher probability of thinning tissue over time. The difference in diameter and implant height among moderate, moderate plus, and high(or full) profile implants is very little and may be less than a centimeter in diameter for a given volume. Your board certified PS will help you determine what profile may be best for your chest wall and breast imprint measurements once a volume is selected.
