Breast augmentation with high profile
silicone gel implants is common. Typically, the size of implant that is placed
is determined by measuring the base width of the breast. Once the base width of
the breast is determined, the size range of implants that can be used is
approximated. When patients want to "upsize" their implants, we
determine the base width of the implant previously placed. If patients want
significantly more volume, then a higher implant profile can be selected.
The photographs shown above depict a
change in implant volume from 350 smooth round moderate plus profile to 600 cc
sooth round high profile silicone gel implant.
