Choosing between implant sizes and profiles - 220LP or 255MP? (Photo)

November 22, 2023
Asked By:aeu1923 in Washington, District of Columbia

I have reached the pre-op point I think many patients will say is the most difficult: choosing between two implants. I am petite: 5’2, 105 lbs, 24” waist with slightly wide set breasts and a 32B cup size. I am choosing now between a 220cc low profile or 255cc moderate profile. I want a natural look, perky and feminine (I don’t want my breasts to be the first thing people notice about me). What would the primary outcome differences be between these two implant sizes and profiles on my frame?
