Is it correct to say that the Natrelle low profile plus is equal to most other brands moderate?

Question

Differences between brands of implants. I have noticed that in Mentor breast implants, there is a low, moderate, moderate, plus, and high profile. In the Natrelle brand, I notice there is low, low plus, moderate, full and extra full. Is it correct to say that the low profile plus is equal to most other brands moderate, considering natrelle does not have a moderate plus?

All major implant manufacturers will have some minor variations in their sizing nomenclature.  Most offer 5 sizes in relation to profile.  It is probably most accurate to view them in order rather than by name like you are doing in your example.

I'm pretty sure you are talking about silicone implants. The differences in profiles can be very subtle. A board-certified plastic surgeon would be able to educate you about these differences. The profile may be less important than how cohesive the silicone fill is.

While breast implant profiles can vary between different brands, it's not always straightforward to equate one company's profile to another. The terms like "low," "moderate," and "high" describe the projection or how far the implant extends from the chest wall, but the exact dimensions can differ.

Comparing a "low profile plus" in one brand to a "moderate plus" in another may not always be an exact match. Each brand has its specifications and dimensions for different profiles.

Make sure to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can guide you based on your specific goals, body type, and desired outcome.

Best of luck !
