Question

Natrelle Cohesive Gel Implants? When choosing profiles/ projections what is the difference between the three profiles? I am looking to achieve cleavage want to know what the best option (profile wise) would be if my bwd is 12cm starting from a small a and wishing to be a small/mid C.

Hi, and thank you for the question. It is always best to discuss implant choice with your PS as he/she will have full access to your details and examination findings. Basically projection is how much your implants will project forwards from your chest wall. The higher the projection then the 'faker' the look. With a 12cm base width, the in the Natrelle range to get you from an A to a mid C, you would be expecting 300+ cc's so a moderate profile of around 310cc (~C cup) or a full profile of 345cc (~full C or ~small D) or the fullest profile of 420cc (~D cup)

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

As the size of implants increase both the width and projection of the implants increase.  However if you assume the same base width, the only way to increase the volume is to increase the projection.  A higher projection implant will have more volume without having the implant look too wide on your chest. However your breasts may not be able to accommodate the extra-full projection if you have not had kids.  The skin may over stretch and you may develop stretch marks after the surgery.  Also the extra full projection may look very fake.  You will need a surgeon who has had a lot of experience to help you decide on the right shape and size.

Breast implants are categorized as moderate profile, moderate profile plus, high profile and super high profile.  the higher the profile the smaller the diameter for the size volume in the implant.  Usually to achieve more cleavage you would want a slightly larger diameter not smaller.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to answer in more detail your question.

Over the internet can not demonstrate examples of these options of implants. Seek IN PERSON consults//

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

Your plastic surgeon can show you examples of each of the available profiles.  Basically if the base diameter stays the same and the volume increases it does so by increasing the projection.  As you move from low, moderate plus, high, extra high profiles the implant will appear more rounded and less natural.  If your base width is 12 cm then a Style 15 Allergan 339cc implant should get you to a full B or small C, a Style 20 HP 350 cc should get you to a mid C.  Cup size will vary from one manufacturer to another.
