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.

CONTACT NOW 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.

Answer: Implant sizing Hello! Great question- implant sizing is a confusing topic for many patients. I determine the best size of implants for my patients by choosing the correct width to fit their frame. This helps the implant look as natural as possible. Then, after determining width (12.4 cm it sounds like for your case), then I use that width to determine different volumes (cc's) in each profile. Typically, I will offer at least 2 profiles if the patient is unsure on what look they desire after surgery. For your example, Sientra's silicone, smooth round moderate plus projection implant that fits you closest (if your true diameter is 12.4cm) is a 385 cc implant with a width of 12.5 cm and projection of 4.5 cm. The high projection in the same type of implant would be a 415 cc implant with a width of 12.5 cm and projection of 5.0 cm. If your surgeon is offering 350 cc implant in both projections (please clarify this with your surgeon's office), then the implants are both more narrow (12 cm width) and only 4 mm difference in projection. The high profile implant will have a slightly larger appearance, just because it projects more. There is not a large difference between these two implants, however.
