The Impact of Implant Profiles on Your Breast Augmentation Results
Get your desired breast shape and size in Richmond Hill, Downtown Toronto.
When considering breast augmentation, the type of implant you choose can significantly impact your final look. One key factor is the implant profile.
What exactly does implant profile mean, and how does it affect your outcome?
It refers to the degree of projection the implant provides – relative to its width. Implant profiles range from low to high.
A low-profile implant is wider and offers a more subtle projection, which can be ideal for patients who prefer a natural look or have a broader chest wall.
A high-profile implant has a narrower base with greater projection, resulting in a more pronounced bust.
How Implant Profiles Affect Appearance
The implant profile directly influences the overall shape and silhouette of the breast. For instance, high-profile implants can enhance cleavage and add a noticeable lift to the bust, making them a popular option for patients seeking a more dramatic transformation. However, they may not be ideal for those with thinner tissue, as the edges can become more apparent. Low-profile implants, while providing a more modest enhancement, tend to distribute more evenly across the chest, reducing the risk of visible rippling and yielding a natural finish. They also give a more defined “side” boob for those looking to enhance the curves of their silhouette.
