If the base size is not part of the equation, I.e. both implants are the same 12.8, how much of a difference is moderate plus and high profile visually? I'm 5ft 85 lbs and have 300cc moderates currently which don't project enough.
Answer: What's the difference between moderate plus and high profile? It's a very good question. Implant profile refers to how far forward the implant projects on your chest. Implants that have a higher profile create a more "augmented" look. I typically use moderate profile implants to give a more natural appearance. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide of breast augmentation is right for you.

Answer: #ImplantProjectionDifferences Simplified, for the same size implant in cc's, the higher the profile the less width and greater projection. Often the difference of projection is less than you think.

Answer: What's the difference between moderate plus and high profile? Thank you for the question.The difference between these implants have to do with the dimensions ( diameter and height) of the implants. For example, the high-profile implant has a greater projection and a smaller diameter compared to the moderate profile implant. The moderate plus profile implant as projection and diameter characteristics that fall between the moderate profile and high profile implants.I prefer to have a wide selection of implants (all profiles) available in the operating room. I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: What's the diffence between moderate plus and high profile? Thank you for your question! Moderate plus will have a wider base width and less projection than a corresponding high profile of similar volume. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width taking into account your breast width, tissue laxity, and amount of tissue of your breast by pinch volume. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: High profile vrs moderate plus The high profile is a narrower implant with more projection, they give less cleavage. In my opinion it depends on the shape of what you are starting out with. Some high profile implants in narrow breasts look like footballs sticking out. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Best Regards,Dr Gartner
