Moderate vs Moderate Plus?

I'm a big user of the moderate plus implants.  I find that projection looks very natural for patients.  High profiles can look a little fake in most.  Moderate (the lowest Mentor profile) is good for patients that are considering small implants where they really don't want anyone to know.  You'll get more cleavage with a moderate plus but based on your breast dimensions the volume your are considering may not be large enough for a moderate plus. You don't want your implant to be too small for your breast width.  Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  Best of luck.

If you are wanting more cleavage then I would recommend you go for the moderate plus and the higher volume. #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #Implants #BreastImplants #choosingimplants #surgeryprep

Thank you for the question.The difference between these implants have to do with the dimensions ( diameter and height) of the implants. For example, the moderate plus implant has a greater projection and a smaller diameter compared to the moderate profile implant. The moderate plus profile implant as projection and diameter characteristics that fall between the moderate profile and high profile implants.I prefer to have a wide selection of implants ( all profiles) available in the operating room. I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison. 
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible. 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. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining 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 look” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.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, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.
