The implant Brands that my PS have are allergan and mentor. How come some implant brands don't have moderate plus and some do? If I go for moderate from one brand, is it equivalent to a moderate plus from another brand?

Answer: Implant shapes Each manufacturer has their own way of labeling the different shapes or projections of implants in their catalogue. As you mentioned, some may have Moderate +, others may call it Full profile, etc. At the end of the day, each catalogue has the exact dimensions as far as base width and projection (height). These can all be compared to each other before deciding on a final implant. So really the name is arbitrary, and the specs should be noted by your surgeon

Answer: Implant profiles The different names are less important than looking at the width and projection dimensions. These numbers allow you to compare implant shapes rather than use the names.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
