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: 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!
