I am in the interviewing stage of doctors for a BA. I am 41 years old, 1 child, fit (120 lbs., 5' 5"). I'm looking for something natural for wanting it to look like the size fits my frame. I tried on a 350cc high profile. I'm wondering if high profile or moderate plus is the way to go - I have what I learned is very little 'upper pole'. My husband is thinking that a softer look will accentuate it if I was to gain a few pounds after surgery, or if that will make a difference.

Answer: High profile vs Moderate Plus With 3 different implant companies, multiple styles of implants, and different definitions about profile; your question is a hard one to answer. If you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who does many breast augmentations per year (>100), I would encourage you to trust their advice. In my practice, the decision is based on your desired look (augmented vs. natural) and your base diameter (width of chest). Just using your ht and wt, I would guess that your chest width would match the moderate plus 350cc. Given your BMI and breast size; moderate plus will give a more natural look and high profile will look more "augmented". Hope that helps!

Answer: BA If you liked the volume of the 350 cc implant then the high profile is a better option as the moderate profile plus implant may be too wide for your chest width. If you feel it was too showy and would maybe want a smaller size, then a moderate profile plus implant in the 275-325 cc range would be good. Best wishes, Dr. T
