Besides how far they project, how does a surgeon decide which profile to go with? My breast width is 12.4and received 350cc high profile in each breast. The other option was 350cc moderate plus profile. What are the differences between high profile and moderate plus profile if they're both 350cc? Will one give me more side boob?
Answer: Breast implant profile Thank you for your question! Moderate plus would give you more "side boob" versus high profile. The difference is the shape. High profile would project more from your chest. Profile is picked based upon your chest width and desired look.

Answer: The difference is in the width and projection. Each implant has the same volume. The difference in the implants is how wide they are and how much they project. The 350 cc moderate plus implant is actually 355 cc’s, has a width of 12.1 cm and projects 4.4 cm. Your 350 cc high profile implant has a width of 12 cm and projects 4.8 cm. So the high profile implant is 1 mm wider and projects 4 mm more. This is a very small difference and your appearance and amount of side boob should be virtually the same.

Answer: Breast Width Besides projection, most surgeons will choose implant sizes based on breast width. This is actually the most important measurement to consider. While moderate plus implants are wider than high profile implants, this does not necessarily translate to more "side boob" if it fits your profile and your breast well. In general, a higher profile will give you a more full upper pole of the breast, which should translate into more cleavage. An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon should be able to provide you with a good explanation between the two implants.

Answer: Difference between high profile and moderate plus profile Thank you for your question. The difference between high profile and moderate plus profile is the diameter and projection of an implant. A high profile implant will be more narrow in diameter and projection will be more. Where a moderate profile is wider in diameter and flatter in profile. I would suggest speaking with your Surgeon in detail to discuss the best option. Also you can ask to see if they offer 3D imaging this allows them to show you your breast in different profiles. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Difference between Sientra's gummy bear high profile vs. moderate plus profile? The high profile implants project more like you mentioned. This results in a bit more fullness at the superior portion of the breast. The side boob profile ends up being very similar, especially in this size range but maybe a bit more side boob with the moderate plus. I will place either based on the patient's measurements and specific goals discussed at the consultation.
