Hi there. I have been debating between getting 240cc silicone moderate profile implants or silicone high profile implants (unsure of HP size). My current cup size is AA, BWD is 11cm, I'm 5'8", 130 lbs., and I have no kids. Are high profile implants ideal for someone of my size? I wish to go as large as my body would suit. What high profile cc range should I stay in?
Answer: Lmplant size Choosing the right size, shape and placement of implant is part art, part science and requires an in person exam. Having said that, high profile is not going to give you a subtle look. Which may be what you want. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your ideal option. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Size choices Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. You could probably select from a moderate, high or even extra high profile. the width will remain more or less the same and as volume increases, the projection grows. I recommend that you talk with your Plastic Surgeon about your goals and expectations and try on sizers in office. My patients find this is a great way to get a feel for the implant sizes.All the best

Answer: Choosing the Profile of Your Breast Implant Thanks for the photos; I think that if you are really looking to go as large as your body would suit, then perhaps high profile implants may be a reasonable choice.Since you know your breast width, you can look at the various volumes of implants that would go with that width. For example, for your width, maybe a low profile would give you 180mL, a moderate profile implant would give you 240mL and a high profile implant would give you 300mL. I usually have patients decide about how much volume they would like to add (with the use of sizers) and then I help them narrow down the ultimate implant selection based upon the volumes associated with each profile.

Answer: Moderate profile v high profile implant for narrow chest. It is best to choose and implant which has a diameter closer to your breast diameter. This will produce the most natural result. .If you have a narrow chest and wish to have more volume, the high profile devices are often the best choice. Careful measurements and use of sizers during you consultation will help to determine your expectations and the best implant choice. Best wishes.

Answer: Moderate vs High Profile Breast Implants Hi Sherry.Thanks for your question and your photos. As is clear from the previous responses, you are a great candidate for breast augmentation and likely you will be looking at mid to full profile round devices (the Inspira line will have the features you are looking for)Certainly base width will be one of the key determinants in final implant selection, this will need to tempered by the limitations of soft tissue coverage and soft tissue stretch.You are very slim with little in the way of breast tissue or fat to hide the implants. Larger, more projected implants will give you a rounder fuller look (what you are asking for) but they will also have more visibility and palpability compared to more moderate profile devices. Can your skin stretch enough to accommodate a high profile device?During a face to face examination these issues can be looked at in more detail and your goals can be discussed taking all of these factors into account.All the best in your journey. Here's to a great result!Dr Nodwell
