I am 5'4" 125lbs, 31" ribcage, 34C (wanting atleast a DD) and my breast measures 13cm wide. I told my PS I wanted large, very nice looking (not high and ball-looking) breasts. He told me he will use a smooth, round, high profile, 500cc silicone implant and it will look "very nice" with a "nice downward slope". Everywhere on the internet says that high profiles don't give a really nice natural look, and that moderate profiles do. Will high profiles give me large, full, and natural-looking breasts with nice cleavage?

Answer: High vs. moderate profile implants Thank you for your question. Implant profile is a function of the base diameter of the implant relative to its projection from the chest wall. For a given volume, a higher profile implant will have a narrower base "footprint" and a relatively higher projection. It is indeed quite possible to achieve a very natural looking result with a high profile implant, as it is with a moderate or a moderate-plus. I choose a high profile implant in those patients who have a particularly narrow chest wall (thus necessitating a relatively narrower implant), and in those who particularly ask for greater projection.

Answer: High profile implants High profile implants tend to not look as natural as moderate because the size of the implant is bigger. The larger you go with an implant the less natural your breasts will appear. The high profile is used because you are placing a large volume on a small frame. To have a more natural appearance, you may consider a smaller implant, which will put you in the moderate profile range.All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

Answer: Profile Thanks for your question.Any implant, if selected properly and placed appropriately will give a natural appearing result. The profile alone does not determine the final appearance of the breast. Most surgeons will select the profile of the implant, after your desired size is known, by measuring the width of your breast. This is to select an implant profile that is closest to how wide your breast is. If an implant is too wide for you, it will look not look natural. If the implant is too narrow, this could result in too much projection. If you trust your surgeon, I would trust his assessment that a high profile implant is best for you.Aloha,Shim Ching, MD
