Implants come in 3 types, Moderate, Moderate Plus and High Profile. All 300 ml. implants contain the same fill volume, it is the base width that is different between the different types. The Moderate Profile is wider and thus slightly less projecting than the Moderate Plus, which is itself wider and less projecting than the High Profile. The High Profile implant is "rounder" than the others. These dimensions matter because we are trying to achieve as natural looking breast as possible. As the volume increases in an implant we change types to maintain the base width. For example, in a specific woman, a moderate profile might be the best fit at 300 ml., but would be too wide at 400 ml. We therefore move to the Moderate Plus or maybe even High Profile to achieve an optimal fit. We have to use an implant with a narrower base dimension in an individual as we increase the volume.
In a small framed woman who wants large breasts we will often use the narrower based implants whereas in a larger woman we will stick to the wider implants. Overall, it is best to not be too narrow. The implant should sit directly behind the nipple and have equal amounts of volume on either side.
The implant dimensions in the 3 types are the same for both saline and Memory Gel filled implants. This allows us to use the same sizers to determine your optimal size no matter what you choose to have as your fill material.
Next we'll talk about volume and cup size. They aren't standard, as any woman who has had the experience of buying bras from different manufacturer's knows.
All the Best,
