Low Profile vs Low Profile-Plus Implant. Would one be better to meet my goal?

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, if your concern is about shaping with indentation then you may be better off with a lift. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Dear Roccofifi,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Thank you for sharing your question. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. You may wish to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!

Profiles refer to the projection of an implant. The higher the profile, the more the implant will project from the body. If you are looking at a 165c implant for example, the low profile mplant would be wider and flatter than a higher profile implant of the same volume. Many surgeons have sample implants available for you to "try on" to get an idea of how you may look after surgery. I've included a video on implant selection that I hope you find helpful.

Low profile implants are wide and flat with little projection, hardly the look most patients want. Your idea of a small b cup should be accompanied by pictures of breast sizes you like. Focus more on final appearance than cc. Hope this helps, good luck!!!

You did not post photos, so I would suggest listening to your surgeon's advice because he has examined and measured you. Personally, I am not a fan of the low profile and moderate low profile since they are just flat pancakes and often too wide for your chest.
