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.

Answer: Implant Profile Allergan does not have a "moderate-plus" silicone implant, however you can look at the actual dimensions of the implant to find relative comparison. Ideally your surgeon should review this with you, but if you are motivated you can find the sizing charts for each brand's implants via Google. It so happens that what Allergan calls "Moderate" is actually slightly more projected at a given size/width than what Mentor calls "Moderate-plus". Overall these two are profiles are very close in dimensions, though.

Answer: Implant profiles The designations like "moderate" or "moderate plus" refer to specific characteristics of the implant's profile, influencing how much the implant projects from the chest wall. Different implant brands may use varied terminology and have unique design options. The absence of "moderate plus" in some brands doesn't necessarily mean they lack similar options; they might use alternative terms.
