Breast Implant Profile: Low, Moderate or High
18.09.2026
Profile describes the relationship between implant base width and forward projection, not simply its volume.
Understanding profile
At equal volume, a low-profile implant is generally wider and projects less; a high-profile implant is narrower and projects more.
How it is selected
Chest width, breast base, tissue thickness, asymmetry and desired proportions guide the choice.
Why photos are insufficient
The same implant looks different on different anatomy. Selection for breast augmentation follows measurements.
FAQ
Does high profile always look unnatural?
No. A natural result depends on matching the implant to tissues and proportions.
Are profile and size the same?
No. Equal-volume implants may have different widths and projections.
