My PS told me overfilling moderate implants would give me width and upper fullness. I have a wide chest frame, so high profile would leave a gap. Would overfilling moderate implants make them flatter and wider or more like a high profile implant (more projected and narrower in diameter)? Should I just go with moderate plus to maintain width and have upper fullness? Or will overfilling moderate implants do the same? I was hoping to be around 650cc.
Answer: Size The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Overfilling implants The more a saline implant is filled, the smaller the width or diameter becomes, and the greater the projection. A 650 cc implant is fairly large. I would think that a moderate plus implant of that volume will be wide enough for virtually any chest wall, providing you with nice cleavage. Please discuss this with a board certified plastic surgeon who has examined you in person. Good luck!

Answer: What will overfilling moderate profile implants make them look like? (Flat and wider, or narrower and more projected?) Thank you for your question. I would make sure that you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon as I completely disagree with his assessment regarding the implants. Think of the saline implant like a water balloon. When you overfill a balloon, what happens to it? It becomes more circular, right? So as you over fill a saline implant that is moderate profile, you will decrease the width of the implant and increase the projection (as the implant becomes more spherical). If you are looking for more upper pole fullness, then you are looking to maximize the width of your implant for your chest width, so creating a more projected implant will not help to achieve this goal. You would be better off choosing a wider implant (as long as the width does not exceed your breast width) with a lower profile. The other issue to discuss is the choice of implant. Overfilled saline implants tend to be very hard and unnatural and have more rippling that silicone implants. If you are looking for an unnatural and hard breast, then your choice might be valid, but if you are looking for a natural result, I would suggest you discuss round cohesive gel implants with your plastic surgeon. You can get the benefits of a firmer silicone implant with more cohesive gel. Hope this helps!

Answer: What will overfilling moderate profile implants make them look like? (Flat and wider, or narrower and more projected?) Thank you for sharing your question. In general as you overfill saline implants they will have a higher projection and more narrow base width diameter. Essentially they would start resembling a high profile implant. Hope this helps.
