I am 5’7”, 127lb size 34 A and on the petite side. I think I am between 10 and 11 cm on breast width. I’ve had a few consultations for breast augmentation and recently decided on 335cc extra high profile silicone implants. I think I am concerned about the “extra high” part. I was originally going for 250cc high profile but was worried that was too conservative. Do you think extra high will fit my body ok? I want to be as natural looking as possible but also not go too small. My surgery is in 6 days...
Answer: Implant Selection Good morning!The XHPs are the newest profile from Mentor, and I use them almost every day I am in the O.R.- at least 2-3 times a week. Patients love them because they give lots of fullness. Almost like the shape of a saline but with the softness of silicone. However, you need to make sure you like that look- so you need to see lots of pics to make sure that's what you want!

Answer: Is 335 cc extra high profile right for me? Hello, thank you for your question. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision later in life

Answer: My recommendation Hello dear! Thank you for your question and provided information as well.. Based on your photos, it seems that you have symmetrical breasts for which you wish to add more volume. There are many ways that plastic surgeons perform measurements in order to determine which breast implant size, style and shape will best suit your goals. It is important that you communicate to your board-certified plastic surgeon what are expecting, to make certain that your goals are realistic. It's helpful to show pictures of results you'd like, but please keep in mind that these are other people and your body is different from everybody. In my office, we use a method of sizing with silicone gel forms of known volumes. This is proven to be a very accurate means of determining what size will might be of additional interest to you as well. Personally, I dont recommend you extra high profile implants, with high profile you'd get amazing results.Know that the size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: The Look of Extra High Profile Implants Implant size determines your overall fullness. However, the profile determines the shape of your enlarged breast. Considering your photos, I think the extra high profile 335cc might create a distinct outline and visible upper border to your breasts. If that is OK with you, then fine. If you would like a more sloping transition from chest wall to breast, then consider a lower profile.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The ideal way to get the best advice would be after an in person evaluation, however based on your photos, you seem to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. The specific implant characteristics are determined together with your surgeon after an evaluation on your breast. Extra high profile implants are rarely used, but would depend on your desired result. Consult with your board certified plastic surgeon to review all your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
