Dear Dr's, I'm just wondering if there's much of a difference between high and ultra high profile? There's so many questions asked about the difference between mod plus and high profiles, but not much regards the difference between high and ultra high. If there is how much difference? And is ultra high a lot more of a 'fake' look compared to the high? Thanks for taking the time to answer :)

Answer: High Versus Ultra High Profile Implant Thanks for the question. Silicone implants come in set dimensions. As you move from moderate to moderate plus to high to ultra high, the implants become narrower and more projected (think of moving from a wide pancake shape toward a narrow cone shape). The choice of implant type and volume obviously depends on many factors. In general, a patient with a narrower chest who wants significant volume will fall more toward the high/ultra high spectrum. Higher volume implants in general may lead to a more unnatural look. This is especially pronounced with high and ultra high profile high volume implants. These are clearly very general characterizations. To see where you might fall in this discussion requires a thorough discussion of your goals and a physical examination by an experienced plastic surgeon. Hope this information is helpful!

Answer: Difference between high and ultra high profile? Thank you for your question. The differences between the high profile and ultra high profile is the dimension and projection. It is basically the same differences as the moderate plus and high profile. However, the ultra high profile is more narrow in dimension then the high profile, and has more projection then the high profile. Ultra high profile implant are typically used when you are trying to get more volume when you have a narrow chest, this expands your options in sizes. Because the ultra high implant have the high projection then the other implant profiles, it can be more "fake" looking then the high profile, it just really depends on your body.

Answer: Ultra = Fake look Hi. Most surgeons use the base width of the breast to choose the correct width of implants and then depending on the volume that you want depends on the projection. Moderate and moderate + are the most common. Ultra high basically means it is the biggest implant your breast will take without going too far out to the side and will give a very fake look. I would not recommend it. RegardsDamien
