Breast Implant Profile

Low, Medium, and High Profile

Round breast  implants are created roughly in the same shape as a jelly doughnut. They are also made of three different versions of the doughnut shape: low, medium, and high profile. For just about any given volume, a low profile breast implant San Diego will have a greater diameter (footprint) and lower projection than a high profile breast implant of the identical volume. The medium profile implant is going to be somewhere in-between.

The profile most suitable for you is based on the volume you choose and also the diameter of the breast. Being an objective problem, this really is something better left for your cosmetic surgeon. For instance, in case your breast diameter is 13 centimeters, and you choose 400 ml implants, you’ll be well-suited for a medium profile implant of this volume, because the diameter in total is about 13 centimeters, just like your breast diameter. Should you selected 550 ml, you would then be-suitable for a high profile implant, since it’s diameter can also be about 13 centimeters whereas a medium profile 550 ml implant includes a diameter around 14 . 5 centimeters, which might be a bigger diameter than your chest wall can hold ideally. Should you selected a 250 ml implant, then you may be well-suited for a low-profile implant. Again, since this is a goal problem, it’s best left for your cosmetic surgeon. Generally, about 90% of implants selected are medium profile. About 10% are high profile, and under 2% are low profile.

When it come to choosing an optimal profile, it’s truly better to give your surgeon the choice. First, your surgeon should measure your breast diameter. Next, you need to pick the implant volume that you would like. Finally, your surgeon should compare the diameter from the preferred implant size (standard implant) towards the measured diameter of the breast. When the diameter from the implant size you chose is one of the same or more compact than your measured breast diameter, a standard implant is suitable. When the diameter from the preferred breast implant is bigger than your breast diameter, then you should think about high profile breast enlargements.
