I heard about a new implant?..... that provides more fullness at the top? Does it actually give you that extra fullness? is their a really big difference between the two?
Answer: Breast Implant Moderate versus Moderate Plus Extra Hello and thank you for your question. All implant manufacturers offer a low, medium and high profile option and these can be in subtle degrees of projection. They can be in smooth or textured surfaces. Currently, we recommend smooth surface round prostheses, which can provide natural augmentation particularly when placed behind the muscle. If the upper pole of the breast is flat or sunken, the higher profile implant design is selected.. When you conduct the double bra simulation test in the office, where a B cup bra is placed over a CD bra, and then you insert breast sizers on the inside, this gives the surgeon an idea of your visual perception of how much volume and projection that pleases you. If you have a narrow chest and wish more cup enhancement, then a higher profile moderate plus or higher device is selected. If you have a broader chest and need to fill the more expansive chest configuration, then a lower or more moderate projecting device is selected. We tend to use the higher profile implants these days as they solve two issues, upper pole fill and modest skin tightening. Best wishes.

Answer: Implant size The best way to pick implant size is based on your breast and chest width and not the volume. As the implants get bigger, they get wider. When the width of the implant fits the width of your chest, it will look nice and fit your frame. If the implants are too small, you will have a gap between them and they may look too far apart. If they are too wide, they will make you look top heavy as they may be too wide and stick well out past the sides of your chest. There are ways to get a bigger or smaller look. This can be done by picking a different implant profile. The higher the profile, the narrower the base width of the implant. If someone has a very narrow chest and wants to be big, they should consider a higher profile implant. If someone has a broad chest and they do not want to be too big but want to avoid the gap and still have cleavage without projection, they should consider a lower profile implant such as a moderate. There are options in between these such as the moderate plus. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who takes careful measurements and talks to you about your cup size goals will be able to assist you in your decision. I prefer the underarm incision so there is no scar on the breast. Good luck!
