How Much Difference is There Between HP Vs Mod + Silicone Implants?

Choosing the best breast implant volume and projection is both art and science. Recent advances in breast augmentation planning has emphasized the benefits of choosing more modest sized implants in order to reduce the risk of revisional surgery over a patients lifetime. Larger and heavier implants will result in more tissue stretch, tissue thinning, more gravity related changes and more need for revisional surgery. HP implants have a rounder shape and more projection  than moderate or moderate plus implantsfor the same base diameter. HP devices  will result in more filling of your breast early on at the expense of more stretch and compression of your breast tissue over the long term. Only you surgeon can discuss the trade offs associated with each choice. The good news is that both options being offered to you are relatively modest sized implants which will be in your best long term interest.

If the base width is the same, then the difference will be in projection.  If the cc's are held the same, there will be a difference in projection and base width.  There are many variables when choosing an implant.  Base width is the one I use for the most guidance.  Skin coverage, shape, skin resilience, etc all have a role.  You are also getting a lift.  This adds to the variables as well.  Try to find some photos that you like and take these to your plastic surgeon.  This tends to help everybody get on the same page.  Speak at length with your plastic surgeon and together you will come up with an appropriate plan.

Yes, it does make a difference.  Please take advantage of the different profiles.

The ideal behind the different profiles is to customize the breast implant to the base width of the chest or breast..  This gives the best possibility of maximal size and a natural look.

I must add that you are a c to d cup now.  A good vertical lift will give a optical illusion of looking larger. Go to the link below and look at patient 4,6,and 10. The breast look larger.

I bring this up because as soon as you add an implant you add the list of complication and the fact that you will most certainly need other surgeries because the implants do not last forever.  If you are on the fence regarding implants in would advise against it and go natural
