What Does the Profile of a Breast Implant Mean

?

Most of you probably know that a breast implant comes in different volumes. However, a more subtle measurement, but just as important, is the profile of your implant.

Once you have figured out the optimal volume for you, the next step is to choose which profile is best for your frame. You have to be measured by your Plastic Surgeon, because the breast width is difficult to measure. Also, other measurements may need to be done to assure symmetry and proportion.

Generally, the breast implant profile chosen is one that fits the base width of your current breast. Both Allergan and Mentor breast implant companies offer 3 different widths or profiles.

If the profile chosen is too wide, then you may end up an abnormality known as synmastia, breasts that touch in the middle.

If the profile chosen is too narrow, the implants will fit the width of your breasts, but the space between your right and left breast will be too large, resulting in a possible lack of cleavage.

The width of your breast implant needs to be just right, which completely depends on your individual measurements.

There is no right or wrong profile, in my opinion- the profile selected for your body is dependent on how much implant volume you want, as well as the width of your breast. Your Plastic Surgeon will be able to help you choose the right implant profile for you and answer any lingering questions or concerns you may have. Breast augmentation surgery can be completely customized for you and your body.
