I have 450cc Moderate Plus Saline implants. I'm looking to go bigger (675cc) and switching to High Profile to help improve cleavage. Will this only help with projection or can I achieve cleavage as well? For reference, I am 5'3 139lbs.

Answer: Would switching from 450cc Moderate Plus to 675cc High Profile improve cleavage? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs and goals, I think you are thinking along the right lines; the use of a larger breast implant will certainly increase breast size and will likely decrease the space between your breasts. The best advice I can give to ladies considering revision breast surgery: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. Sometimes, it is necessary to seek several consultations before you feel comfort will about your choice. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "D cup” or “fake look” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, best not to discuss your goals and/or judge the outcome of the procedure performed based on achieving a specific cup size. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I generally select appropriate breast implant size/profile after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers and viewing the patient's chest in the upright and supine positions. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to larger breast augmentation outcomes) helps. Best wishes.
