I have 420cc low profile in right now. My frame is small and I feel like I have a pancake inside. I have never felt the implant projected as much as I would like. (I still have to wear a padded bra) I also feel like they are too wide for my frame.
I would like to go for a high profile 425cc or 475cc. Do you think the projection I would get with one of those compared to what I have now would be enough for me to see the difference through my clothes?
Answer: A slightly larger high profile implant may be a good option In my practice, I rarely use low profile implants for cosmetic augmentations, precisely because of the problem you're describing. A high profile implant of the same volume or slightly larger will probably give you the look you're going for, but it's hard to know without examining you. I would recommend seeking out a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that you can consult with-- he wil be able to examine you and give you options for achieving the look you're going for.

Answer: Correct thinking If you feel the implants are too flat and too wide, then it makes sense that a narrow and higher projecting implant would be helpful. What specific size and style would depend on your breast width measurement, the location of the nipple relative to your breast and chest, and your desired post-op appearance. You might be able to judge your volume requirements depending if you are happy with the volume but not the shape.Also if you are wearing a padded bra that gives you the look you want, your surgeon can estimate the dimensions and volume and give you some idea of what implant will most closely match you goal. However, also remember that breast augmentation is an imperfect operation and your surgeon shold review what side effects each choice you make will entail (i.e. roundness, rippling, firmness, asymmetry, etc.).
