Is "roundness" of the upper pole more a result of the volume of the implant or the projection?

Some doctors say high profile implants give more upper pole fullness and a more "fake" look. Doesn't volume factor in as much as profile when it comes to upper pole fullness? I am trying to decide between 385cc round Mod and 415cc round HP (textured Sientra implants). I want as much volume as my recommended implant diameter will allow to fill out my frame (5’ 10”, 130#, deflated A cup). I don't want severe grapefruit-like roundness in the upper pole, but some upper pole fullness is okay.
