About Breast Implant Profiles: Low, Moderate, And High

Breast Implants

Women desiring fuller, voluptuous looking breasts can benefit from having a breast augmentation surgery. This procedure is highly customizable to deliver individual results. You can choose the right shape, size and type of your breast implants. You can also choose the degree of forward projection you want by choosing among the various different breast implant profile types. Breast implants, in the past, were available in a predetermined standard projection based on the implant size. However, technological advances made in the breast augmentation field have now allowed surgeons to offer a wide array of implant profiles to their patients. You can now choose between having dramatic results, subtle changes, fuller, rounder breasts, and more cleavage. Vinings Surgery Center, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Colgrove, provides breast augmentation surgery to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Low Profile Breast Implants

These breast profiles offer the minimum forward projection. They are recommended for women with wider chests and shoulders. These are a few characteristics of low profile implants:

  • Prominent cleavage as opposed to high profile implants
  • Widest base
  • Delivers natural-looking results
  • Incredibly effective in enhancing breast volume

Moderate Profile Breast Implants

Moderate profile implants used to be the gold standard in breast augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure. They can add volume and fullness to the breasts. They are also:

  • Thinner and wider than high profile implants
  • Thicker and narrower than low profile implants
  • A Good balance between breast volume and cleavage
  • A compromise between forward projection and breast width

Moderate Plus Profile Breast Implants

This profile option is offered by several implant manufacturers. Women desiring slightly more enhancement without additional forward projection can benefit from this profile. Moderate plus profile implants have the following characteristics:

  • between high and moderate profile breast implants
  • focus on offering additional volume and roundness
  • have a wider base than high profile implants which offers natural looking results
  • excellent for women wanting perkiness, additional cleavage and large breast size

High Profile Breast Implants

These implants offer the maximum forward projection and are often recommended for petite women with narrow chest diameters. Characteristics of high profile implants are:

  • Requires minimal chest width
  • Excellent for narrow-framed women
  • Rounder and thicker with narrower base
  • Delivers dramatic results opposed to every other implant profile
  • Focus is on breast volume
  • Can increase cleavage if natural breast tissue is available

Choosing an Ideal Breast Implant Profile

Your surgeon will consider a lot of factors before recommending the best implant profile for you prior to your breast enhancement plastic surgery. They will take your desired goals into account as well as your existing breast measurements. It is important that you discuss your expected results in detail with your plastic surgeon. It can get difficult to bounce back from a disappointment post-surgery. There are different breast profiles available now, which can help attain any breast shape you desire. Women seeking dramatic results should opt for high profile implants. Low and moderate implants offer the most natural looking results.
