I was set on Moderate Profile Silicone implants. When I went to my preop I was told that HP implants would be a better option for me due to my smaller chest wall. I have a gap and that is why I wanted to go with the moderate profile due to the wider base of the implant. I do not want high round fake boobs and I feel that I will get that with the high profile. I am also getting a vertical lift with my augmentation. I would greatly appreciate your opinions regarding the profile for my body type.

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Online consultants will not be able to, with any degree of accuracy, advise you when it comes to specific breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Your best bet is to select your plastic surgeon carefully and communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon. Show him/her what you are trying to achieve with the help of goal pictures.
I would also suggest that you allow your plastic surgeon to choose the best breast implant size/profile for you ( hopefully after the use of intraoperative sizers). I find that this careful communication and intraoperative use of sizers ( along with careful measurements) are important steps in helping achieve patient's goals as consistently as possible.
Best wishes with your upcoming procedure.

Answer: Moderate vs High Profile
Hi. when the same width, the high profile implant has more projection (pushes your nipple further out from your chest) and is 100cc larger in volume. So for the same volume implant, the high profile has a smaller width. So, although the name is high profile, they go less high up from the front view. The way to avoid a large gap is to choose an implant close to the width of your natural breast. I like to use 3D imaging to show patients in the office approximately what each implant will look like. A picture is worth a thousand words.
