Breast Implant Profile

breast-implant-profile-1Breast implant profile is the measure of how far the prosthesis will project forward off the chest wall. As breast enhancement surgery has grown into a highly specialized field, plastic surgeons have worked closer than ever with implant manufacturers. This cooperation helps patients and doctors achieve the surgical expectations they desire, using implants which are custom-designed for their particular needs.

This report assists women in selecting the best implant profile for their specific body type.

Selection of Breast Implant Profiles

Profile describes forward projection of the implant without altering its volume in ccs. This allows a far more customized fit, since it takes into account width and depth rather than merely width. The most common profiles offered are:

Moderate profile breast implants are normal size implants which are proportionate in width and forward projection. These are the industry standard and closest to the original sizing method.

Moderate plus profile implants offer a slightly tapered width and additional forward projection, creating more breast depth than width. This is ideal for a  slightly smaller framed woman or a woman who desires a more projecting bust line, rather than simple roundness.

High profile breast implants offer the most forward projection, at the expense of a narrower base diameter. This style is ideal for small or thin women who desire a more natural appearance with terrific forward projection. A high profile implant is perfect for the woman with less natural breast tissue and a narrow chest measurement.

Low profile breast implants are perfect for women who are larger and fuller framed in their chest measurement. Wide framed women benefit from the larger base diameter of the low profile implant, since it creates breast shape that matches the natural contours of their bodies.

Variable Breast Implant Profile

In the past, breast implants were sized by volume alone. This meant that a size was determined based on the amount of cubic centimeters (ccs) that would be needed to fill the implant shell. This sizing was fine for some women, but left others with strange looking postoperative results.

Common problems with this standardized sizing were:

Implants which are too close together or too far apart.

Implants which created unnatural cleavage or infringed on the underarm region.

Implants which seemed generally too wide or too narrow for the woman’s body type.

Implants which fit the bodily width, but did not project forward enough.

Impact of Breast Implant Profile Choices

Adding the profile measurement to traditional breast implant sizing has done so much to increase the natural look and feel for many surgically enhanced women.

Both saline and silicone breast implants are available in varying profiles and sizes to fit the needs of every woman.

Talk to your doctor about how implant profile can help to meet your expectations for a perfect body. Remember, your preferences can be met, regardless of whether you are looking for a natural look or are preferential to the obviously enhanced round shape sported by many top celebrities and models.
