Moderate Profile or Moderate Plus Profile? (photo)

Thank you for the question and pictures.
Despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with  meaningful specific advice.  Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.
In your case, based on your photographs and stated goals, I think you are starting at a great starting point for breast augmentation surgery and should have a very nice outcome.  Keep in mind, as you consider your goals, that the most common regret after this procedure is “I wish I had gone bigger”. I would also suggest that you carefully consider the pros/cons associated with breast implants placed in the sub glandular versus sub muscular ( dual plane)  positions.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering  breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:





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're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.







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 “C or D cup”  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.








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 hope this (and the attached link) help.

Dear Calorina,

Thank you for your post.  Definitely the MP+.  You should pick the cc's not out of the air, but based on your breast width.  The implant should be close to the ideal breast width.  You currently have a gap between the breasts.  This can be fixed with careful dissection and careful implant width selection.  The following link is of a lady who had a larger gap than you that was fixed as above.

Best Wishes,
