I have sought a modest augmentation twice, and ended up with implants that were too projecting for my frame. 1st time 350cc saline (? profile), second time 275cc moderate profile saline. All I wanted was about the volume of one of the cutlets I wore in my 34B bra to fill it out. I am now replacing my saline implants with silicone and I know I want a lower profile implant. Why are these almost never used? I know it is a less common preference, but aren't there women like me who want subtle?

Answer: Low Profile Implants Not every patient is a candidate for low profile implants- I always recommend speaking to your PS and showing images of your expected results.

Answer: Redo breasts augmentation Dear Washnigtonian, Front and side views of your before and after pictures would have been very helpful. Sorry for the multiple procedures that you have to go through in order to achieve your desired size. I have been in practice for over 30 years and performed breasts augmentation surgery on thousands of patients, many of them were Asian with a desire for a B cup size breasts. Based on that experience, I can tell you that the profile of the implant is meaningless. Volume of the implants should be the only consideration for cup size and the pocket should be large enough to create soft and natural looking breasts. You did not provide your original breasts cup size. Let's assume that you were 34 small A cup size, to become 34 B cup size, you would have needed implants with volume of 200 cc or 225 cc. If you were 34 A cup size, 150 cc implants would have brought you to 34 B cup size. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery , to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perkt, symmetrical and natural looking. Best of luck, Dr Widde4r

Answer: Implant profile The profile of an implant is chosen to fit the base diameter of the breast. The smaller implants usually require a wider base as a starting point. As the size of the implant increases so does the diameter until you reach a point that a different pfojection (smaller base diameter for that volume) is required. The typical woman can use Moderate up to about 300 cc then requires Mod Plus. High Profile implants typically are used from 400 up unless the woman is quite petite.
