"Side Boob" - will high profile Sientra 650cc achieve side boob fullness?

Question

I am interested in knowing if HP implants can give you "side boob fullness", as well as projection, I am aware M+ profiles are ideal in achieving this look, but im wondering if a large enough HP sientra 650cc implant can achieve the side boob fullness. Thank you.

Thank you for the question. If you see a surgeon who has vectra (like in my office) we can show you how a specific implant can look on your body, from all angles, including the side boob

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

"Side boob" while not a natural phenomenon is an aesthetic which can be achieved either purposefully or inadvertently.

This typically refers to lateral visibility off the breast mound commonly seen when implant width exceeds available space on the chest.

There is no profile that is better or worse at delivering this look. That being said size for size, lower profiles will provide greater width volume for volume.

With regards to your specific question, a profile device which exceeds your BWD can deliver more lateral fullness.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The look that you will have after surgery will be influenced by the implants you choose as well as your breast measurements.  Be sure to discuss your desired look with your board certified plastic surgeon who can help you with implant selection.  Many surgeons have sample implants you can "try on" to help you get an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Hi there,
Yes, but it will depend on your chest wall width. Basically, you want an implant that is around your width. So you will need to measure you width and compare to the implant in question. Also, important to remember that some side breast is great but too much hinders your daily activities. 
All the best

Dear edie1121,
implant profile is a very important consideration. Many patients wrongly assume that the higher the profile the better. The truth is, the more profile (or projection/height) and implant has, the narrower its base has to become. This has several problematic consequences. The first is that the patient loses width and therefor cleavage of the breast. The second is the breast becomes more narrow and pendulous, often falling lateral and onto the side of the chest, and third, high profile implants have a higher risk of bottoming out because they exert more pressure on the inframammary fold than moderate profile implants. High profile implants do have a role in symmastia repair (when I need to narrow the basewidth) but otherwise I try to avoid them.
