Can moderate profile look low and flat? They are so unflattering on me.

Dear Doramom1,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

You did not post photos, so I cannot be specific. the profile chosen is based on your measurements and the size selected. Low profile implants usually look flatter in most women. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Implant selection is often based upon patient's breast base width, old implant size and patient desires. Breast implants are placed subglandular (in front of the muscle) or behind the muscle. Behind the muscle at times requires a larger volume or more projecting implant to achieve one's desired results than subglandular.
Breast lifts help reposition natural breast tissue and may at times make the breast appear smaller.
