Mod Plus vs High Profile. What's the difference? How do you know what's right for you?

It is very difficult to determine the exact profile (medium, vs moderate plus vs high profile), size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon

Thank you for your question. While it is difficult to give you recommendations without at least pictures, in general higher profile implants have a narrower base so they decrease The chances of having your implants be too wide. On the other hand, this may sacrifice cleavage. It's best to have consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons and preferably undergo Vectra 3-D imaging and simulation to look at the different style of implants on your body.

Profile refers to how much projection the implant has (how much it sticks out).  A moderate plus profile implant with the same width as a high profile implant will be flatter (less projection), and will have a smaller volume.  Using Dimensional Breast Augmentation, a surgeon can determine what width, for example, fits you best.  Knowing the width the implant should be, they can then recommend what implant volumes will fit your width.  The high profile implant can be just as wide as the moderate plus implant, but because it has more projection, it will have more volume.  That's why you've been recommended a 400-425 HP implant, as well as a 300-350 MPP one, both of which likely fit your dimensions properly.  It just depends on how much volume you like.
