I have 525 g CUI implants (12.7x6.2) I want more width and I'm ok with losing some projection. My PS said she would do the 700-750 range. I am 6'1, 175 lbs with a wide chest. Should I request to switch to mod plus? My current implants are far too narrow for my chest. The dimsof the 700cc Naturelle are HP 14.5x6.2, ModP 15.8x5.1 and 750cc HP15x6, ModP 16.2x5.2. Are these going to fill me in where I need it to? I don't like the torpedo look I have now!!
Answer: When is a Moderate Implant better looking than a High Profile Implant?
The example you present is one in which the width of the breast has not been filled out as it would in a naturally large breast. You have noted that you do not like the "torpedo look". The volume of the proposed implant is determined according to a woman's breast base width, and her height and build. Since you are taller, a larger moderate profile implant in the size you suggested, around 700 cc, makes sense, but the same appearance would be achieved in a woman around 5'4" with a breast base of 13 cc or so with a 375 cc implant.
The main point is that a high profile implant does not look good when it is too narrow for that woman's chest. In choosing high profile vs. moderate profile, most women are happy when their goals for size are met by an implant that is at or just under their breast width. When they want more volume, then the narrower, larger volume high profile implant, within reason, allows them to achieve that.
When women ask for larger implants that exceed their breast width, they should be informed that if such implants were used, they would greatly increase the risk of nerve damage, numbness, stretching of skin, malposition and need for future surgery.

Answer: Breast implants
I understand your dissatisfaction with the space between the implants. Simply going with larger implants may not necessarily solve the problem unless the pockets are also adjusted at the same time. In my opinion going larger is a mistake.

Answer: Larger Implants with more Width
This option may be viable. The easiest way to determine this is to just measure your chest wall width with calipers.

Answer: Implant size
I think a wider implant may benefit you, but are you sure you want mod +, or just moderate profile. Discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Shape v. Projection...which implant style to choose? Ask Dr Ellen
Hello AmazonINArizona,
The moderate plus style implant will give your more diameter/shape.
The high profile style implant will give you more projection.
So, if you are going for more shape and diameter, the moderate plus will
probably be a better choice.
Thanks for asking! Dr Ellen
