What’s the difference between full and moderate profile implants?

Breast implants come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Most patients discuss primarily volume in cc's which can translate into cup size which is another language in breast implant sizing. Both of these variables are not as important as shape or profile. Most implants are round though shaped or anatomic implants do come in different projections or heights. Projection is related to the height of the implant, or how much it sticks out. The difference between a 300cc full height which is equivalent to a high profile implant and a moderate height is the full height breast implant is taller and narrower. Both shapes are great when placed in the properly selected patient.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well. everything is summarized in the projection that gives implants to the breast.

Hello there A common misconception is that high profile implants sit 'high' on the chest wall and create more fullness at the upper pole .In fact the profile is the projection forward of the implant and contributes to how large the breast is perceived as being .By measuring your breast a surgeon can determine what width of implant will fit you well . Most implants of a given width come in 3 or 4 different profiles or projections .By altering the projection we can alter the size to achieve the degree of enhancement you are seeking.I hope that clears it up for you .CheersTS
