What is the difference between moderate plus and high profile implants?

High profile implants offer more forward projection as compared to moderate profile implants. They have more anterior projection and provide dramatic results. They are best suited for women looking for rounder and forward projecting breasts that don’t necessarily need to appear natural.

What are the most natural looking implants?

silicone implants

Silicone implants are slightly more costly than saline, but because they’re made from a highly viscous gel, they’re much softer.

What’s the safest breast implant?

Both saline and silicone breast implants are considered safe for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction.

Is it better to have breast implants above or below the muscle?

Placement is important because the chest muscle can provide additional support for the implant if needed and can also change the shape of the breast if desired. Women with smaller breasts may prefer to place the implant below the chest muscle.
