Would a 450 cc high profile implant be the same size as a 450 moderate profile implant or would the moderate profile implant be a lower cc?
Answer: Moderate implant is wider and flatter than a similar volume high profile implant Two implants of the same volume but different profile have the same volume spread out over a different shape. High profile implants project more and have a narrower base, while a moderate profile implant of the same volume will have that same volume spread out over wider area - it will be a wider but flatter implant

Answer: Difference between moderate and high profile implants. A high profile implant has a narrower base and higher projection than a moderate profile implant of the same size. Regarding your specific question, 450cc moderate and high profile implants have the same volume (cc). This is something that you need to discuss with your surgeon prior to breast augmentation. The implant profile will have an effect on the breast appearance after surgery.

Answer: What is the difference between a moderate profile and a high profile implant Both implants contain the same volume. The difference lies in the diameter and projection of the implant. Choosing an implant that fits the chest/breast well is critical. Your plastic surgeon can advise you best on the implant that would be more suitable for you based on your measurements during an exam.Best of luck to you,

Answer: What is the difference between a high and moderate profile implant. Thank you for your question. A 450 cc moderate profile and a 450 cc low profile implant will have the same volume. The high profile implant will be narrower but stick out more the moderate profile implant will be wider and flatter.Unfortunately, this can sometimes be confusing for patients so here is the thinking that I use in my office. We have the implant sizers for our patients to try on.I start with a moderate profile implant and change the size until the width of the implant fits the chest nicely and has just enough curve under the arm to balance with the curve of the hip. To me, the diameter of the implant is the most important part.Once we find the correct diameter we begin to play with projection. If the patient likes the diameter but wants to be smaller we look at a similar diameter implant in a low profile. If the patient likes the diameter but wants to be larger we look at the same diameter implant but in a high profile.So, I would encourage you to think about how the diameter of the implant fits with your hips and your shoulders and then think about which style, high and moderate are low appeals to you the most. Don't just go by the numbers, go by how the implant that your frame.I hope that this thinking will be helpful to you.Best wishes.

Answer: Difference The volume is the same between the two implants, but the high profile is a taller implant and projects more. It also has a smaller base. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss which profile would be best for your tissue.
