I was told that moderate profile sag more over time, therefore I should get high profile to keep them 'perky' over time. It's a hard decision and would love some help! 385cc high profile or 375cc moderate I'm currently 32b, 53kg, 166cm tall. My mom thinks I should get moderate so they sit nicely in a bra and fill the bra instead of sitting too high on my chest. Implant Info: Natrelle INSPIRA (TruForm 2 cohesive gel). Inframammary incision Moderate Projection or Full Projection options

Answer: Your Mom has it Backwards. Lower profile implants have a wider base with and therefore a taller height. A lower profile implant will sit higher and wider on the chest wall then a higher profile implant of the same size. Higher profile implants have a narrow base and more projection. It is important that you find the base with that best matches your chest wall to maintain a natural look. You should discuss this balance with your surgeon. I dont believe that that one will sag more over time. Based on your 32B bra and weight of 53 kg, you probably have a petite rib cage, and smaller base width, which I would guess, lean you towards the higher profile choice.

Answer: Implant choices Hello,Thank you for your question. Either of these in a Tru form 2 cohesivity will retain a fuller upper pole over time as they are slightly firmer than the Tru form 1 implants. The volume difference is very slight so the main difference in appearance for you will be a slightly wider, less projecting implant or more projecting, "perky" implant with narrower base. My patients find it helpful to try in the implant sizers in clothing in my office to get a better idea of the look and feel of the implants. Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about these considerations and they will likely be able to help you decide.All the best

Answer: Volume vs projection Hi. It sounds like you have settled on the volume you would like and now are worried about projection. I dont think there will be any difference regarding how each implant will age over time. The moderate projection will have a wider base diameter so may look slightly wider in the chest and generally will look more natural. Regards
