What is a high, moderate, or low profile implant?
In order to properly size a breast implant so that it fits and looks natural, the width of the implant must match the width of the breast. The forward of volume or profile of the implant could vary. A low profile implant must match the width of the breast but has the least forward projection and the high profile implant has the largest forward projection. The medium profile implant is in between. The choice of these profiles determines how much bigger the breasts look after augmentation.
