Thank you for your question, but without seeing your breasts or taking measurements, I cannot advise you on the size that would be best for you. Generally speaking, a high profile implant is going to have more projection and could give you more of an augmented look. Moderate profiles tend to give a more natural appearance, so it really depends on the look you are going for and your specific measurements. You might want to consider seeking out a plastic surgeon who has imaging equipment that can show what the different sizes and profiles would look like on you. I have found this technology to be very helpful in my practice. Good luck!
Breast implants come in many different styles and sizes, which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Breast implants can consist of different filling materials inside a solid silicone polymer shell which can be smooth or textured. The implants can be round or contoured (anatomic) in shape. The basic filling materials are:Saline (sterile salt water)Memory Gel (silicone)Highly cohesive gel (firmer silicone)The most common implants used are the round silicone with a smooth shell covering. These implants come in 4 basic styles:Moderate ClassicModerate PlusHigh ProfileUltra High ProfileThere are 2 dimensions used when referring to these implant styles, base diameter and projection or height of the the implant. As you go from the top to the bottom of my list the base diameter is less and the projection is more. So, the Moderate Classic implant is almost flat, like a pancake, and the Ultra High Profile implant is more round, like a baseball. Let's look at an example, a 400 cc in volume (12 ounces = 360 cc's) silicone breast implant, a very common implant utilized, and look at the dimensions:Style Diameter ProjectionModerate Classic 14.5 cm 3.2 cmModerate Plus 13.1 cm 4.0 cmHigh Profile 12.2 cm 5.0 cmUltra High Profile 10.6 cm 5.4 cmAs you can see the Ultra High Profile has much more projection than the other styles and the Moderate Classic has the widest diameter. The most common styles used are the Moderate Plus and the High Profile. Women with a wide chest need a larger diameter implant and contrary to that, women with a narrow chest need a smaller diameter. The implant choice is based on a women's anatomy, desires and the surgeon's experience and expertise.Please see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who performs breast implant surgery frequently to assure the best possible result. This is an outpatient procedure usually performed with a general anesthetic and a quick recovery.In this situation the base diameter of the two implants chosen are basically the same, so I believe either of the two implant choices would be fine.Good Luck
