I can’t find enough research on comparing the soft touch to regular gummy high profile .?
Answer: Allergan breast implants Allergan is the parent company that owns brands such as Natrelle breast implants, Botox, Coolsculpting, etc. Inspira is the current product line of Natrelle silicone gel breast implants. Within this product line are 5 different profiles termed low, low plus, moderate, full, extra full. Allergan does not offer an implant that goes by the name “high profile” so it would be important to determine whether someone using the term “Inspira high profile” means full or extra full profile. They also offer 3 different thicknesses of gel, all of which are significantly thicker, or more cohesive, than what was used 15 years ago. Allergan considers all of their currently available gel implants as ”gummy”. The least cohesive gel is termed “responsive”, the next is “soft touch”, and the most cohesive or thickest gel is termed “cohesive”. A commonly used implant in my practice is catalog number SSF-345 which means smooth surface, soft touch gel thickness, full profile, 345 cc. I hope this is helpful.

Answer: High profile vs soft touch Thanks for your question! "Profile" refers to the dimensions - diameter and projection. The cohesiveness is defined by "responsive", "soft touch" or "cohesive". So, there is no comparison between soft touch and high profile because that's not comparing apples to apples. You can get a soft touch, high profile implant or you can get a responsive, high profile implant. The soft touch is more cohesive meaning that it is a little firmer but it also will have less rippling. Good luck!

Answer: What is the difference between the Inspira, high profile and the soft touch? Thank you for sharing your question. Profile refers to the degree of projection of the implant from the chest wall for each cc volume, while soft touch refers to one of the three different silicone gel thicknesses found within the Inspira line - Responsive being the thinnest, Soft Touch middle of the road, and Cohesive being the thickest gel. Hope this helps.

Answer: Name Confusion Natrelle is the company, Inspira is a line of silicone gel filled implants. Within that line, there are five different implant profiles, from a very flat implant (low profile) to a very ball shaped implant (high profile). There are many different sized implants, and almost all sizes come in any of the five profiles. Finally, the entire Inspira line of implants can come with a choice of either responsive (very soft gel, technically not considered highly cohesive or 'gummy'), soft touch (intermediate firmness), or cohesive gel (very firm and 'gummy') formulations.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear bigmama61, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
