I have saline low profile 525 cc o/f to 650 cc. I feel wide and flat, my dr. Isn't sure he can fit more cc's. Is it possible to appear larger just changing the profile of the implant without adding more cc's. I just had them done 4 mos ago and I like them but don't love them.I am also considering silicone, I am thin 115 lbs 30 " chest. I want a full round look!

Answer: #PickingTheIDEALimplant Higher profile implants have a narrower base diameter and more projection. You might want a second opinion. Also if you want to stay with saline implants then I would strongly consider the newly FDA release IDEAL saline implants that feel similar to silicone and have a much better shape. See the below link for more information.It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 650 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “D” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in a bit.

Answer: Profile and Implant size Higher profile breast implants will definitely give you more projection "full round look". As for silicone you have to discuss with your plastic surgeon if the benefits are worth the added cost. Consider reposting with pictures for a more accurate assessment. Best of luck

Answer: Breast implant profile The implant profile changes the projection of the breast implant for a given volume. Keep in mind that it is important for the implant to fit your chest. A higher volume implant might be necessary when you convert to a higher profile (especially when going from saline to silicone). A saline implant provides a higher projection the more it is filled, so you are already probably in the mid profile implant range anyway because of overfilling. A high profile or ultra high profile implant will probably give you the fuller "round" look you desire. Many patients feel that these implants convey a less natural appearance, however they do provide the full "augmented" look that many women desire.

Answer: Does profile change implant size? There a different profiles of the implants. Low Profile, Moderate Plus Profile and High profile in saline. You can change the profile of the implant and keep the same cc's, so the volume of the implant would be the same, but the shape of the implant would be different. A higher profile implant is more narrow and projects out more, if you're wanting a round look then you may like the look of the high profile implants more, but they would be a lot more narrow than the implant you have in now. This would require of course another surgery and new implants.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at aBetterBreast.com.Best of luck to you!
