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 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
